Curious about the new character in Death Stranding 2 that resembles Metal Gear's Solid Snake? Dive into the latest details on Death Stranding 2's release date and pre-order information.
Kojima Productions and Sony unveiled the much-anticipated release date for Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (DS2) at South by Southwest (SXSW) on March 9, 2025, in Austin, Texas. The event kicked off with a captivating 10-minute trailer presented by DS2 Director Hideo Kojima. This trailer not only showcased new story elements but also provided fresh gameplay footage, reinforcing the game's theme of human connectivity in a post-apocalyptic setting.
Joining Kojima at the panel were PlayStation’s Global Content Communications Manager Kristen Zitan, and DS2 actors Norman Reedus, reprising his role as Sam Porter Bridges, Troy Baker, and the French Music Director and Designer Woodkid. The trailer introduced a new character, Neil, portrayed by Luca Marinelli, leading a mysterious faction. Fans were quick to notice Neil's striking resemblance to Metal Gear's iconic character, Solid Snake, particularly due to the similar headband.
Hideo Kojima himself acknowledged this resemblance in an Instagram post from July 2020, noting that Marinelli, when wearing a bandana, strikingly resembles Solid Snake. This new faction, led by Neil, is set to play a significant role in the narrative of Death Stranding 2.
