Interestingly, search volumes for the Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima surpassed the search results for the game itself with a remarkable 3021.77% gap between “Death Stranding 2” and “Hideo Kojima” searches.

While searches for Hideo Kojima increased by 3866.68%, Death Standing 2 only managed an 844.91% boost in online searches after the event.

Although no release date has been finalized yet by Kojima Studio, Youtube’s trailer description states it’s heading to Playstation 5.

The trailer begins with random shots that show baby toys lying around with the tune of BB’s theme from the first title playing in the background. The viewers are introduced to Fragile playing with a baby. In the next shot, the world around her appears to catch a high pace as an emergency sets in.

Fragile holds the baby close to her and starts moving carefully through the building, avoiding unknown assailants carrying flashlights. Once out, she gets on a mono-trike and starts fleeing away. She gets shot off her vehicle, and the whole color palette suddenly transitions to a much more sinister red tone. Fragile loses the baby at a distance, as she tries crawling to her baby when she passes out.

The shot then darkens, showing a game logo along with a new organization’s logo showcased, stating, “Drawbridge: Both stick and rope, To protect and connect. Together. For tomorrow.” The next shot opens up with Sam Bridges walking up the stairs and standing next to Fragile while they look at a massive vehicle making its way out of the black water body.

Fragile in an exchange of dialogue (with white hair now), tells Sam that it is time for him to hit the road and start a new journey. As the trailer ends, a masked figure with the same hair as Amelie from Death Stranding appears, singing BB’s theme while playing the guitar.

The mysterious figure is surrounded by several other characters with glowing triangles on their faces. The final text reads, “Should we have connected?” The trailer thus ends with a shot of BB pod filled with tentacles while Sam calls for Lou.
