Death Stranding's Full Story Gets Explained Quickly In This New Video

Death Stranding was a fairly lengthy game, and if you're struggling to find time to play it before the sequel launches, then you can check out a recap video from Sony that condenses the entire story into an easily digestible six minutes.

All the important bits are covered here, including the exposition revealing how the worlds of the living and the dead have been mixed together in Death Stranding, the new status quo of a world scarred by the deadly Timefall phenomenon, and Sam Porter Bridges being entrusted with the job of reconnecting America's surviving cities.

With its release date of June 26 getting closer, Sony has been ramping up marketing for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The game had a "premiere" earlier this month, and several other Death Stranding 2 events are taking place in cities like Sydney, Paris, and Seoul. Set one year after the events of Death Stranding, Death Stranding 2 sees the return of Sam Porter Bridges and other popular characters like Fragile--but not that fragile--Higgs, and Heartman.

The world that players will explore will be more dangerous than ever, as in addition to sneaking his way through enemy camps or areas inhabited by Beached Entities, Bridges will also have to deal with natural disasters and new mechanized enemies. You can also check out the opening act of the game, which was shown off at the Death Stranding 2 premiere.
