Caroline Polachek Releases New Song “On The Beach” from New Video Game “DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH” Soundtrack
American singer-songwriter Caroline Polachek released a new song “On The Beach” on June 23, 2025.
The song is featured on PlayStation 5 video game “DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH” soundtrack.
The video game was developed by Kojima Productions and was released on June 26, 2025 via Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is a sequel to the 2019 video game “Death Stranding”.
Caroline Polachek co-produced and co-wrote the track with frequent collaborator Danny L Harle, and also co-wrote it with video game developer Hideo Kojima.
Caroline Polachek said of the song, “'On The Beach' was actually one of the first songs I ever made with Danny L Harle, but it was too alien and industrial-almost too evil-to work sense on Pang, so I set it aside til the right thing came along. When Kojima approached me about DS2, I showed him the sketch of it and he agreed that it was a perfect fit, and so eight years after starting this song, it got reopened, extended, and finished for the perfect setting.”- Hideo Kojima said, “I was listening to Caroline Polachek last year and became a big fan of hers. After I put that on my Instagram, she contacted me, and then she DM'ed. We kept in touch and then eventually met up in Paris, and that's when she told me she wanted to write a new song for Death Stranding 2. She works very fast. You heard her song when you saw the Plate Gate - it's called “On The Beach.”
