Watch 22 minutes of Death Stranding 2 gameplay from Summer Games Fest
Hideo Kojima doesn't really go for half measures. Following a 10-minute trailer that unveiled some early details, the game creator participated in a beefy 80-minute panel discussion with Geoff Keighley about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach on the final day of Summer Games Fest 2025.
The wide-ranging conversation included some clips from the sequel to the acclaimed Death Stranding , including its first five minutes, which sparked lots of cheers as people recognized performers' names in the opening credits. Kojima also showed the English language version of a scene that was revealed during the Tokyo Game Show, highlighting the performances of Elle Fanning as Tomorrow and Shioli Kutsuna as Rainy. Fans also got a chance to see Tomorrow in action as she literally gets down and dirty in the tar to take out some robotic combatants. There was also a live gameplay demo, first showing Sam in combat with a blood boomerang and a tar cannon, then a more challenging fight against Neil that showed off some stealth attacks as well as some more weaponry.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will be available on PlayStation 5 starting June 26.

David R. Slavitt, poet and critic with a side gig in soft pornography, dies at 90
The writer protested. He said he had a 'serious' novel, 'Rochelle, or, Virtue Rewarded,' coming out later that year, and didn't want to undermine it with something much lighter. Plus, he said, he was a highbrow author and translator of classical poetry, not a paperback hack. Advertisement But the chance to try a new genre was too tempting. He hit on a solution: writing under a pseudonym, Henry Sutton. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The result, 'The Exhibitionist,' about an actress and her rich father, appeared in 1967. Tame by today's standards, it was decried as near pornography. And it sold 4 million copies. 'It was every English major's dream,' Slavitt told The Boston Globe in 2006. 'I put my children through college and could continue to write poems and translate Ausonius, whom nobody has ever heard of.' Mr. Slavitt, who died on May 17 at his home in Cambridge, was never one to be bound by genre or expectations -- a valuable instinct for someone as prodigious as he was, with more than 130 works, including books of poetry and fiction, plays, and translations. He also, in 2004, ran for the state Legislature as a Republican in the Democratic bastion of East Cambridge/Somerville. Advertisement His wife, Janet Abrahm, confirmed his death. The bulk of Mr. Slavitt's work occupied the loftiest reaches of high culture. He translated Virgil, Ovid, and Seneca, among many others. His poetry exhibited a mastery of traditional forms, though in a contemporary voice packed with wit and erudition. 'Though his stanza forms are often intricate, they never prevent, or even impede, the explorations of a mind that takes suggestions as they come, weaving them into the pattern,' wrote critic Henry Taylor in his book 'Compulsory Figures: Essays on Recent American Poets' (1992). Mr. Slavitt wrote the libretto for an opera about the welfare system, based on a film by documentarian Frederick Wiseman, a close friend, and a play, 'King Saul,' which debuted off-Broadway in 1967. And he wrote several other novels, including the comic 'Anagrams' (1970), about a poet invited to speak at a literary festival where no one has read his work -- a dig at what he called the 'quality lit biz,' which he was both part of and felt slighted by, in its frequent ignorance of his work. But the call of pulp fiction persisted. He wrote seven more novels as Henry Sutton, among them 'The Proposal' (1980), about swinger culture. More books followed under more pseudonyms -- he even borrowed the name of his first wife, Lynn Meyer, for a mystery novel, 'Paperback Thriller' (1975). 'The theory was that it would be nice to make some kind of distinction between the two kinds of work, and the two kinds of audiences,' he said in an interview with Terry Gross in 1978. Advertisement As he told the Globe: 'When General Motors makes a cheap car they call it a Chevy, and when they make a good car, they call it a Cadillac. `The Exhibitionist' is not a book I would read had I not written it.' Under his own name, he wrote a memoir of his unsuccessful 2004 run for the Massachusetts House of Representatives, 'Blue State Blues: How a Cranky Conservative Launched a Campaign and Found Himself the Liberal Candidate (and Still Lost)' (2006). Not even death precludes more of Mr. Slavitt's titles from appearing, at least for now: His final book of poetry, 'Last Words,' is slated for publication in 2028. 'I do what entertains me,' he told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 1996, adding that he was able to write so widely because 'I have an absolute absence of any kind of fear.' David Rytman Slavitt was born on March 23, 1935, in White Plains, N.Y., the son of Samuel Slavitt, a lawyer, and Adele (Rytman) Slavitt, her husband's longtime secretary. He was among the few Jewish students admitted at the time to Phillips Academy in Andover. He went on to study literature at Yale under the tutelage of another wide-ranging man of letters, Robert Penn Warren, and graduated in 1956. The same year, he married Meyer; they divorced in 1977. He married Abrahm, a palliative care specialist, in 1978. Along with her, he leaves three children from his first marriage, Evan Slavitt, Sarah Bryce, and Joshua Slavitt; nine grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. He taught occasionally at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Maryland, Rutgers University, and the University of Pennsylvania, among other schools. Advertisement His run in 2004 for the Massachusetts State House was quixotic, if not quite poetic. Mr. Slavitt tilted his run at incumbent Democrat Timothy Toomey in the then-still working class district straddling East Cambridge and Somerville. Mr. Slavitt ran as a 'Schwarzenegger Republican without the groping,' he told the Globe's Alex Beam. When it was noted that the Globe had ignored his campaign memoir, he cheerfully replied, 'Well, they ignored the last 85 books as well.' Material from Globe staff was included in this obituary.

Nicola Peltz Beckham Reacts To David Beckham Criticism
Listen, child, there is an ongoing trope that if an (adult) man has chosen to distance himself from his family, it must all be his wife's fault. It's the fire that fuels a thousand Megan Markle-haters and now, for some reason, also commenters on Nicola Peltz Beckham's posts. Months of speculation surrounding Nicola and the Beckhams came to a head in May, when Nicola and husband Brooklyn didn't attend his dad, David's, 50th birthday. Cue a ton of reports alleging that there's some kind of "tension" going on between the couple and the wider family. Well, yesterday Nicola had the audacity to wish her own father a happy birthday on Instagram. In a post of her and Beckham alongside billionaire Nelson Peltz, she wrote, "I am so lucky to be your daughter, you're the most loving and supportive father i could ever dream of." "I love you more than i could ever begin to express - you're the wind beneath my wings. i loved celebrating you yesterday! thank you for always being there for us - our constant love and support," she added. A bunch of comments subsequently accused Nicola of controlling her husband's interactions with his own family: Side note: There was even a mention of "Free Brooklyn," because, yes, a female celebrity being literally controlled by a conservatorship for years is comparable to a wife maybe being a bit pushy...? Thankfully, not all the comments were super weird. Nicola "liked" one that read, "The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd. The guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them be and stop blaming women for everything." Brooklyn also shared a photo with his in-laws in celebration: And all the comments were super normal! Oh wait, JUST KIDDING: Remind me to never get hoards of English women involved in my family affairs...
