Kojima Productions has announced that a Death Stranding 2: On the Beach live game premiere will be taking place on Saturday, June 9 at 12pm AEST.
Kicking off Kojima’s World Strand Tour, a run that includes the panel to be held during the Sydney Film Festival, the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Live Game Premiere will be a live-streamed event featuring a panel to discuss the game and a live demonstration of the title itself. Hideo Kojima will be present on the panel, joined by other Kojima Productions team members and yet-to-be-revealed “special guests.” Of course, the panel will be hosted by Kojima’s very best friend, Mr Summer Game Fest himself, Geoff Keighley.
