Death Stranding 2 is about… well, only Mr. Kojima knows that.

Sam Porter Bridges is back! He looks good, a little aged, but that can happen quickly in the mysterious world of Death Stranding 2. Since the Sony State of Play we now know at least: The game will be released in 2025according to the trailer, is supposed to look extremely chic and is already making fans cheer.
Oh yes, and of course the babies are back at the start. But otherwise? It's Death Stranding, what do you expect? Lots of question marks, lots of hints, lots of mindfuck – exactly what fans love about Hideo Kojima's games.
You can watch the approximately ten-minute gameplay here:

Death Stranding 2 shows 10 minutes of new gameplay and we only have more question marks
Psychopaths, babies and a talkative doll
As already mentioned, not much is really known about the plot, even after the trailer. We get to see a variety of well-known and new characters. At the beginning we see how a figure covered in a black mass is saved by the fragile one already known from the previous film (and now not aged?).
Then we see Sam again. Shortly afterwards, he devotes himself to his favorite pastime: hiking. This time, no longer back and forth between the United Cities of America, but… well, somewhere else. And he also has a baby strapped to him again. He is also accompanied by one very talkative wooden dollwho loudly declares that she doesn't want to hang on his backside.
Have we forgotten something? Oh yes: A psychopath (is that Higgs?), who is visually reminiscent of a mixture of Heath Ledger's Joker and a band member from KISS, wants to do really nasty, bad things. He also has a baby – but a dead one? You can already tell: We are busy speculating, just like the fans on the Internet.
And now all! »I was made for lovin' you, baby – You were made for lovin' me!«
The fans are over the moon
The fans are not just puzzling, but above all cheering. Let's get some reactions from Reddit and YouTube collect to reflect the current mood among Death Stranders:
What the hell is going on in here? Lmao I love it!
My emotions! MY EMOTIONS!!!
Only Kojima can make a 10-minute trailer that leaves you with more questions than you had before.
But our favorite comment is the following one. One fan summarizes the trailer excellently. He even has the honor of concluding this article:
A flamboyant psychopath brought back to life as a cyborg uses an electric guitar equipped with a railgun to fight a cyborg ninja-like mecha possessed by a dead baby.
What do you think about Death Stranding 2? Did the new gameplay trailer blow you away like many other fans on the internet? Or have you already given up in the face of the confusing story involving babies, shadowy creatures and black mud? Did you play, enjoy and understand the predecessor?
