Death Stranding 2 On the Beach is not set in the Americas: it's 'another continent'

Today Kojima published a new video (which you can find below) in which he talked about the various projects he is working on. The expected is also included among these Death Stranding 2: On the Beachwhich will take us to new areas of the world to connect to the chiral network. Where are we going to go Exactly? Early guesses included Mexico for example, assuming that Sam and his companions would not stray far from North America.

However, this is not the case, because in the video Kojima explained that it is a continent other than the American one.

Precisely he said, “This is a different continent. It is no longer the American continent. [Sam] it is going there to connect the Chiral Network. If the UCA goes there, since it is a different continent, it can be considered an invasion. Therefore, a private entity will create the infrastructure.”

New details on the Magellan ship

Kojima also provided some details on the Magellan, the ship which serves as the base of operations for Drawbridge, Fragile's new civilian organization at the center of the game and which appeared in the most recent trailer for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. As explained by Kojima, the ship is able to move by “diving into tar and traveling underground.”

How exactly does it work? Again, Kojima didn't provide many other details, although he did offer a few small details about the role the ship will play from a gameplay perspective.

“When you connect the Chiral networkthe ship can move freely in those areas,” Kojima said. “Once you connect it yourself, you can call the ship and your crew will be there.”

It is also indicated that a beloved character will not return: Kojima confirms this.
