Death Stranding 2: Who is Tomorrow and what powers does she have?
Tomorrow, a major new character in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, surprises players with her deep connection to Sam and terrifying powers. She controls decay and tar, fights armored mechs, and plays a vital role in stopping Higgs. Here's what we know about her story and abilities.
In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, a mysterious character named Tomorrow appears in Episode 5. She¡¯s first seen walking alone in the land of the dead before being rescued. What shocks Sam and his team is not just her survival, but her rare powers.
Later, it¡¯s revealed that Tomorrow is actually Lou, the baby Sam once carried in the first game. She was separated from him after a brutal ambush by Higgs in Mexico and was raised in another dimension by Fragile. That strange childhood shaped her into someone incredibly powerful and important to the story.
What are Tomorrow¡¯s powers in Death Stranding 2?
Tomorrow has powers connected to a rare condition called DOOMS. This allows her to interact with the world of the dead in ways no normal human can.

She can:
- Turn objects and enemies into dust with a single touch
- Use tar currents to travel underground and strike from surprise spots
- Handle close combat with great agility and speed
- Destroy armored mechs by disintegrating them
Her powers are dangerous enough that Higgs, the main villain, tries to use her as an Extinction Entity, a living tool to end all life on Earth. But Sam steps in to stop him, leading to an emotional and action-filled rescue.
How Tomorrow shapes the story
Tomorrow isn¡¯t just powerful, she¡¯s personal. She¡¯s Sam¡¯s daughter. That twist adds emotional weight to the game¡¯s second half. Although she¡¯s not playable, her role is central. She changes Sam¡¯s mission from delivering hope to protecting family. In the final act, her powers help tip the battle. She¡¯s not just a character in the story. She¡¯s the key to it.
