Death Stranding 2 May Take Darker, More Violent Turn

Norman Reedus hints grittier tone and expanded combat in upcoming sequel.

Hideo Kojima’s enigmatic Death Stranding franchise is poised to venture into darker territory with its hotly anticipated sequel. In a recent interview, series star Norman Reedus hinted that Death Stranding 2 may embrace a grittier, more violent tone compared to the meditative original. His comments suggest a major gameplay and storytelling shift could be afoot.

Speaking on a promotional YouTube series for the game, Reedus remarked that the debut Death Stranding felt “passive” and “open,” with a generally calmer mood. However, the actor implied Death Stranding 2 incorporates more intense action and combat. Reedus specifically praised the sequel’s menacing robotic dogs and wide array of weaponry. He also invoked villain Higgs, who wields a guitar that transforms into a powerful gun.

Kojima Productions seem to be playing up these violent elements in Death Stranding 2’s marketing. The reveal trailer showcased an armed convoy ambushed by explosives and a shadowy assassin. While the first game mostly avoided overt combat, its successor appears to place it front and center.

This tonal shift may stem partially from plot developments that grant weapons a more pivotal role. Reedus noted his character Sam Porter Bridges now understands the worldwide distribution of firearms hinted at in the original. The proliferation of guns seems connected to a larger storyline that remains cryptic even to Reedus himself.

In typical Kojima fashion, some secrets are being kept under wraps. Reedus admitted the suction cup apparatus shown in the trailer remains unexplained to him. Kojima seems to be embracing signature mystery in the sequel’s narrative and leaving actors as clueless as players.

With Reedus promising a bigger, more epic scope, Death Stranding 2 aims to deliver Kojima’s uncompromising vision on a grand scale. The move toward more visceral, violent content indicates the game may abandon the contemplative approach of its predecessor. For better or worse, Kojima appears set to take the franchise into bold, uncharted territory when Death Stranding 2 arrives in 2025. The only certainty is that fans should expect the unexpected.
