Fans of Mads Mikkelsen will be saddened to learn that the actor will not reprise his role as Cliff in the upcoming Death Stranding 2: On the Beach despite his memorable performance in the original Death Stranding. This has been confirmed by game creator Hideo Kojima, who explained that Cliff's story arc has concluded in a way that is respectful to his character. However, the sequel will introduce new celebrities, including Elle Fanning, and cameos from directors George Miller and Fatih Akin. Death Stranding 2 is anticipated to release in 2025 for the PlayStation 5.

Will Death Stranding 2 be available on platforms other than the PS5?

As of the current announcement, Death Stranding 2 is set for release on PS5 in 2025. However, there is no official news on whether it will be available on other gaming platforms.

Death Stranding, developed by Kojima Productions and released in 2019, is an action game that stands out for its unique gameplay elements often referred to as a 'strand game' by its creator Hideo Kojima. It features a post-apocalyptic setting where players control Sam Porter Bridges, played by Norman Reedus, to reconnect isolated cities and fragmented societies. The game is known for its star-studded cast, which included Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux, and Guillermo del Toro. Its sequel aims to continue this trend with a mixture of famous actors and creative talents, despite Mikkelsen's absence from the upcoming title.
