Here are the top 5 announcements from the State of Play 2024!

1. Death Stranding 2: On the beach

The long trailer for Death Stranding 2, now officially called Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, was released by Kojima Productions. Sam Porter Bridges from Norman Reedus makes a reappearance, and it seems he's fighting against a brand-new team named Drawbridge.

One of the most bizarre scenes in this teaser was a long scene in which a possible antagonist used a hybrid weapon that could discharge lightning and was a combination of chainsaw and guitar. Reedus, Lea Seydoux, Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, Troy Baker, and others will be featured in DS2.

Developer Shift Up's single-player action game Stellar Blade is one of the major 2024 PS5 exclusives. Even though the game wasn't played much in 2023, it made a strong comeback in this State of Play.

The game's premise, world, characters, mission system, exploration, adversaries, skill and upgrade systems, combat, and more were all briefly described in the Stellar Blade video. In the end, it was confirmed that Stellar Blade will be available for the PS5 on April 26.
