Like the first game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has several Easter eggs waiting to be discovered, and one of the best is tied to your birthday. If you happen to be celebrating another spin around the sun, the game will pick up on this and the next time you decide to take a break, you'll be greeted with a heartwarming scene that features the main cast. Just don't get too excited about the birthday cake, as it's about to suffer a terrible fate in this short celebration. At least Higgs is here to save the day--for once.
This is a fun treat for players because you can say that Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, and several other famous Hollywood faces personally wished you a happy birthday. Sure, they're playing characters inside of a video game, but it still technically counts. It shouldn't be too surprising to see an Easter egg like this in Death Stranding 2, and with the game out this week, players will likely be unearthing a few more secrets in the weeks to come.
Death Stranding had its fair share of them, with some of the highlights being references to game director Hideo Kojima's work on the Metal Gear Solid series, nods to classic literature, and plenty of cameos. If you're looking to catch up on the events of the first game before hopping into the sequel, you can check out our digestible read on the timeline of Death Stranding. Death Stranding 2 is available to play in early access for people who bought the deluxe and collector's editions, and the standard version of it will go live starting June 26.
"Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is fixated on revisiting past ideas, which limits its impact to being a good but not great sequel," Diego Nicolás Argüello wrote in GameSpot's Death Stranding 2 review.
