Through hell and high water, we have finally come to the end of the road on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (later than planned, but life tends to happen). 

The final chapter of this game is filled with some of the finest Kojima scenes we've ever seen and we're ready to send DS2 up to the rafters. Is that where it belongs? Listen to find out! 

Emotional reflections and more contained within. We hope you're prepared for...

It's not the end of our journey, but we can see it from here. Our Death Stranding 2 coverage continues with our penultimate episode, covering episodes 14 & 15 of the game. 

From the time of release, you have approximately ~2-ish days to send in your thoughts for any part of Death Stranding 2, or the game as a whole. You can send those thoughts to contact[at]metalgearmondays[dot]com. 

Next week, we push ahead to Tomorrow. God...

It's part four of our coverage of Death Stranding 2. 

You know what else comes in fours? No, not the Fantastic Four. No, not the Four Musketeers (after D'Artagnan joins). 

If you said Ghostbusters, you'd be right! Bustin' makes us feel good and this week we're catching BTs like it's 2016 and we're wandering around our neighborhood playing Pokemon Go on a well worn iPhone 5. Uh... what were we talkin...

Annnnnnnnnd, we're back. 

This week we're tackling Death Stranding 2 Episode 3 & 4. This one is another meaty episode (I mean, we are introducing the primary location for the game), but hopefully things get a bit less... overwhelming? 

Who can say?

The time is nearly upon us. The stranding shall be death, yet again. 

This week, we're joined by James Reichmuth and we're discussing the road to release, predictions for what the game has in store for us, and things we're less excited about.

This is a very special episode. While we were super excited to get to chat with another cast member from Death Stranding 2 ahead of release, we didn't expect the conversation to be so memorable and inspirational. 

This episode features an interview with Debra Wilson (Doom: The Dark Ages, God of War Ragnarok, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, MAD TV, and on and on), and if you've never heard her out of character, ...

In our first interview on the lead up to the release of Death Stranding 2, and our second Death Stranding cast interview ever, we speak with Darren Jacobs! 

This conversation is a ton of fun and brings some insight into the unique recording process used for Death Stranding. Maybe there's a tease for some of what the future holds? Who can say?
