About This Game :
- Eleven Months Later: The game takes place approximately eleven months after the events of the original “Death Stranding.” Sam Porter Bridges successfully reconnected the United States.
- Sam’s New Life: At the beginning of DS2, Sam has seemingly abandoned his government role and is living a quiet life with his former Bridge Baby, Lou.
- Beyond the UCA: The story quickly moves beyond the UCA’s borders. Sam is drawn into a new mission by Fragile, who now leads a civilian company called Drawbridge. Their goal is to establish connections and a new Chiral Network across other parts of the world, specifically Mexico and Australia, which are still fractured and dangerous.
- “Should We Have Connected?”: This haunting question is a central theme of the sequel. It suggests a deeper exploration of the consequences of connection and whether the initial efforts to unify humanity were truly for the best, or if they inadvertently created new problems.
Key Narrative Elements & Characters:
- Fragile and Drawbridge: Fragile is a prominent figure, leading the “Drawbridge” organization. They operate out of a massive mobile base called the DHV Magellan , a ship capable of traversing the tar currents. This hints at a more nautical and global adventure.
- The Return of Higgs Monaghan: Troy Baker’s Higgs, the charismatic and manipulative terrorist from the first game, makes a surprising return. He appears with a new, cult-like faction, hinting at his continued obsession with the Extinction Event and a more technologically advanced, possibly mech-infused, version of the BTs.
