By Following the launch of Death Stranding 2, gamers are returning to the original Death Stranding in droves, crafting some truly impressive creations.
Yesterday, Twitter user Raven posted a video claiming they dedicated five hours to gathering materials for it. The outcome is a time-lapsed 90-second journey along the path stretching from South Knot City all the way to Lake Knot City, situated at the far end of the map.
This route is molded by the gameplay itself, yet still demands that gamers collect the necessary resources, a challenge who Raven embraced wholeheartedly. Their “five hours of effort” becomes even more remarkable for players of Death Stranding 2 – the original installment lacks the mines that its sequel provides to help locate the ceramics crucial for construction. Most of the effort was spent rummaging through communal lockers and various bases.

While Death Stranding 2 is the latest sensation, there hasn’t been sufficient time for many larger undertakings to emerge. Although the sequel is a PS5 exclusive, individuals without Sony consoles are still eager for their own opportunity to connect – gamers have been diving back into Death Stranding Director’s Cut on Steam, which reached new all-time concurrent highs multiple times over the weekend.
The question of whether Death Stranding 2 will become available on PC and Xbox remains uncertain. Currently, the sequel stays a PS5 exclusive with no announcements regarding other platforms. However, Kojima Productions is not a Sony studio, suggesting a good possibility that its multi-platform approach will mirror that of the original title. PC players might face a lengthy wait, but until then they have plenty of roads to construct in the first game.
Is it necessary to play Death Stranding 1 before Death Stranding 2: On the Beach? Most likely, yes.
