What is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach?

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a direct follow-up to the 2019 original, set 11 months after the establishment of the UCA. The world has seen significant changes with automated deliveries and the emergence of a new faction. The game is shrouded in the signature mystery and innovation of Hideo Kojima, including a character reminiscent of Solid Snake. Here's the official synopsis from the PlayStation Store:
