"Death Strike 2" hits director Hideo Kojima on the red carpet! Deliver a video of the game premiere event that cheers when you soothe Lou [Death Stranding 2: On the Beach]

 

On June 8, 2025, at 7 p.m. local time, the game premiere event for "DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH" WAS HELD AT THE ORPHEUM THEATER IN LOS ANGELES, USA.

Los Angeles is the first destination of the "DEATH STRANDING WORLD STRAND TOUR 2", a tour event that will visit 12 places around the world. Moderated by game journalist Jeff Keghley, a panel discussion was held to celebrate the game's release with game creator Hideo Kojima and special guests. During the event, the world's first video of the actual machine was also released, showing great excitement.

Famitsu .com interviewed director Kojima and Shiori Hana (who plays Rainey) on the red carpet before the start of the event. With less than a month to go until the film's release on Thursday, June 26, we asked him about his feelings and the world in which "division" is happening in real life.

The event is also live-streamed, and an archive is available. If you are interested, check it out below!
