Developed by Kojima Productions for the PlayStation 5 , “ Death Stranding 2 ” is an action game that will be released on June 26, 2025. However, those who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition already have early access.
When starting the game, the player is asked to enter their date of birth. Then, a message appears suggesting that there are constellations linked to the DOOMS condition – but what does that mean? This is the detail we will talk about in the following lines. Check it out!
Although this message may initially scare players, it does not actually
mean that there will be any impact on the game’s difficulty, gameplay or even character statistics depending on the date entered. So rest assured: your experience will be the same as other players in this game.
As a matter of curiosity, the constellations mentioned in the text are linked to the following dates:
- Cancer: June 21 to July 23;
- Pisces: February 19 to March 20;
- Cetus: November (no date specified);
- Delphinus: September (no date specified).

Because of your birth date, you may also be curious if the game features a birthday scene on the date you entered, just like the first “Death Stranding”.
The answer to that is yes, because it has a special cutscene (unlocked only from episode 3) if you play on your birthday and go to the fourth test tube in DHV Magellan. This way, the characters will congratulate you and you will also receive some gifts: 900 likes, “Heartman’s Star” glasses (a cosmetic item) and a slice of pizza (+10% stamina).
