What is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach?

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is the direct sequel to the 2019 original, set 11 months after the UCA's birth. The world is now connected, deliveries are automated, and a new faction is emerging. The game is filled with the signature weirdness of Hideo Kojima, including a character reminiscent of Solid Snake. Here's the official description from the PlayStation Store:

“Embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA.

“Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction.

“Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should we have connected?

“Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.”
