Death Stranding 2: On the Beach technically launches on June 26, but you'll be able to get an early look at the game and hear from a panel of people who worked on it thanks to a newly announced event that will close out Summer Game Fest on June 8. The "Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Game Premiere"will be hosted by Geoff Keighley and feature live gameplay of the upcoming game, alongside a panel discussion with Hideo Kojima and other talent who worked on it.Death Stranding 2: On the Beach picks up after the events of the first Death Stranding, following Sam Porter Bridges (Norman Reedus) as he's drawn back into the world of schlepping things by Fragile (Lea Seydoux). Based on recent trailers, the sequel appears to build on the traversal challenges of the original, with new types of terrain and weather to navigate and new tools at Sam's disposal to make it easier.You can attend in-person at the Orpheum Theatre on June 8 at 10PM ET / 7PM PT by registering for tickets online. The event will also stream live on YouTube for anyone who's not able to make the trek to Los Angeles to attend.This premiere event kicks-off a world tour - appropriately titled the "Death Stranding World Strand Tour 2" - promoting Death Stranding 2: On the Beach leading up to the game's launch and extending well beyond it. A24 and Kojima Productions also recently announced that the film adaptation of Death Stranding will be written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, the director behind A Quiet Place: Day One and Pig.Considering the bromance / business partnership Kojima and Keighley have maintained over the last few years, it's not at all surprising they're teaming up to promote the new Death Stranding. Of course, the event is just one of several livestreams that will pad out Summer Game Fest 2025, which includes the Keighley-hosted Summer Game Fest Live, and more intriguing games showcases like Day of the Devs and the Devolver Direct.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/how-to-watch-the-death-stranding-2-premiere-event-at-summer-game-fest-184514009.html?src=rss

It's time to game. Kicking off June 6, with Summer Game Fest Live, SGF 2025 runs through to June 9, with the likes of Xbox Games Showcase and even Death Stranding 2 live game premiere likely to make headlines. There is a bunch of others in store, including Day of the Devs. Devolver Direct and Wholesome Direct are peppering the schedule.For Xbox, games in the pipeline include the new Fable, Perfect Dark, Gears of War: E-Day, Everwild, State of Decay 3, Clockwork Revolution, Hideo Kojima's OD and Contraband.What about Nintendo (although it's a bit busy) and Sony? Traditionally, both have their own presentations, but there is no word yet on either. Ubisoft usually does a thing too, but nothing's on the docket.The most recent headline-makers include a glimpse at The Witcher 4, courtesy of Unreal, and a closer look at IO Interactive's 007 First Light, a James Bond game from the studio responsible for the incredible Hitman series. Hopefully, there are further surprises. Maybe a Silksong release date? Gosh, I can be silly.- Mat SmithGet Engadget's newsletter delivered direct to your inbox.
