“Kojima Productions will host a panel discussion on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach,” the studio’s officialwebsiteexplains, alongside a panel lineup featuring most of the Japanese voice cast, including Kenjiro Tsuda (Sam), Nana Mizuki (Fragile), Shion Wakayama, Tomokazu Sugita, and singer Daichi Miura, who also played The Musician in the first game. The director behind Drive (2011), Nicholas Winding Refn, is also joining, of course, Hideo Kojima to talk about the upcoming sequel.
Kojima has recently been working the teaser mill as he’s now accustomed to, withshadowy posters that have different actor’s silhouettes hiddenbehind a “Who’s That Pokemon?” type text. So, we should probably hear more about characters and actors who are new to the Death Stranding world, at the very least.

Death Stranding 2 won’t be playable at the show - heck, whether we get a new look or trailer for On the Beach is still a giant question mark over the presentation - but publisher PlayStation still has other games to show off in addition to its main star.
WhileAstro BotandCapcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds are the only currently-announced playable games at PlayStation’s booth, other incoming “playable demos, stage events, and trailers” will be announced between now and TGS’ September 26 kickoff date as well.
Death Stranding 2’s Norman Reedus says the sequel is more violent than its predecessor: “I feel like this one has a bit more violence in it.”
