Death Stranding recap: What happened in the original game’s story?

The trailer showcases the story of Death Stranding thus far, beginning “before we connected,” which means the beginning of the first game. Death Stranding and its upcoming sequel, On the Beach, take place decades after a cataclysmic event known as the Death Stranding. This apocalyptic phenomenon messed up the connection between life and death and unleashed monstrous entities called Beached Things, whose presence triggers devastating “voidouts” — explosions with the force of nuclear blasts. In the aftermath, the world was left scarred and shrouded in a mysterious rain that rapidly ages everything it touches.
Like the original Death Stranding, On the Beach blends distinctive hiking-based gameplay with dense exposition, Yoji Shinkawa’s bold character designs, and a surreal sci-fi story about forging human connections in a bleak, isolated world where the boundary between life and death has collapsed.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is set to be released on June 26 for PlayStation 5.
