Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor Troy Baker nor terrorist delivery-addicts will stay Norman Reedus from his appointed rounds. It's a ditty we all learnt in school, and it's truer today than ever. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is so to its PC release you can taste the weird black goop, not even a year out from its original PS5 release date.
Which kind of feels like a parting gift as Sony reportedly gears up to massively tone down its PC port program, but hey, I'm not complaining. I loved Death Stranding 1, and everything I've heard about its sequel makes me very eager to get my hands on it. In fact, I heard a lot about it from PC Gamer dot com, back when the game released on PS5 (hey, it's not like there was any doubt it'd come to PC). There's never been a better time to refresh yourself on, say, the 11 little Death Stranding 2 improvements that made our Morgan Park say 'hell yeah'.
Soon, those of us without PS5s will be saying hell yeah, too. Or, well, I hope so. I guess there's always the possibility it'll be a less-than-stellar port, but Death Stranding 1 ran great when I played that last year, and I haven't heard the pirates who got early access to the game complaining. Anyway, here's when the game releases (for real this time) in timezones around the world.
For the vast majority of the world, Death Stranding 2 will unlock on March 19, with just a few of our Australian cousins and beyond having to wait for the wee hours of March 20. Look guys, that's what you get for going around calling flip-flops "thongs". You can't just expect to get away with that.
Here are the big release times, with more listed in the map up there:
And if you're worried you won't be able to render Norman Reedus on your ageing hardware, good news: you probably can.
Get those hard drives spinning (I guess no one's hard drives really do that anymore) because the answer is yes, Death Stranding 2 has preloading, and it's live now on Steam. Get delivering, mailmen-and-women.
