There is still plenty of mystery around Death Standing 2: On the beachThe story, and that mystery will probably remain until just before the game's credits are rolled after launch in June. The first DeathWhile it revealed a lot about his story and Lore up to its conclusion, still saved the biggest revelations for last, and Death -beaching 2 Will probably not be different. With such an intrigue around his story, there is plenty of space left for theories, including one that suggests Death -beaching 2 can get stuck in an endless time trail.
At this time the only information Death -beaching 2 Fans must continue coming from its trailers. Even with both Death -beaching 2Trailers that are over ten minutes long, there are still a lot of questions. In addition, considering how strange the first game was and Hideo Kojima's preference for the bizarre, Death -beaching 2 can be led in any number of directions. However, one of these potential directions involves this theory of a time loop and has received any essential evidence in both Death -beaching 2Trailers – at least, depending on how everything has been laid out in the said trailers.

How Death Stranding 2 can set up a reverse rescue arch
Death Stranding 2 can turn the script, which makes Sam who needs to save and fragile the unexpected heroine who refuses to let him go alone.
Death Stranding 2 can get stuck in a time loop
Sam and Lou have both appeared in different forms in DS2's trailers
Which Death Fans were quick to point out after Death -beaching 2The sevelfred which was dropped at the 2022 Game Awards was how old Sam showed up. Originally he was shown with white hair and a much older skin, except to look tired and emotionally drained. However, in Death -beaching 2Sam's latest trailers seem to be closer to his age in the first game, with darker hair and a much younger skin. Sam's appearance in Death -beaching 22024 State of Play Trailer also differs from his appearance in the game's pre -order trailer. In this case, Sam not only seems to be older but also completely gray in color, along with fragile.
Even with both Death -beaching 2Trailers that are over ten minutes long, there are still a lot of questions.
Sam has not been the only one shown in different forms either, since LOU, Sam's BB from the first game, has also appeared in different ways. On one occasion under Death -beaching 22022 reveals the trailer, Sam holds a pod and heard that Lou's name, just before what seems to be a stranded thing (BT) shows up from inside the pod. In the rest of the trailer, as well as Death -beaching 2Lou is a pre -order trailer and State of Play Trailer, Lou turns out to be a small child. This means that LOU, just as Sam, may have undergone some changes in her form and age in Death -beaching 2.
Sam and lou different shapes and appearance can be an indication of a time loop
If what has been revealed so far is not a sign of a multiverse hidden within Death -beaching 2Sam and LOU different ages and shapes can be an indication of a time loop. Sam has not only appeared both younger and older until this point, but his gray form in Death -beaching 2Stiden's tales suggest that he may be on the beach but in some way at the same time in the living world. Lou's age and form deviations suggest something similar – unless Sam of course simply hallucinated when he saw Lou turning into a BT, just as he hallucinated in the first game.
Sam also suggests under Death -beaching 2Pre -order that he could be isolated somewhere out of reach when he says “I've been alone all the time?”
If Death -beaching 2 Really caught in a loop, then every moment that players spend restoring their steps can carry more weight than it first seems. The various performances by Sam and LOU are probably not only stylistic choices given Hideo Kojima's reputation, but lead to an endless bike. Kojima has never been shy to the blurred boundary between story and metaphor, so if Death -beaching 2 Is a Mobius strip disguised as a road trip, the most important stories may not be about where Sam ends up but instead of how many times he has already been there.
