Kojima Productions and Anicorn Bring the Ring Terminal From ‘Death Stranding 2' to Life
Summary
To celebrate the launch ofDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach,Kojima Productionsreunites withAnicornfor a striking new collaboration. This time, the duo brings a key in-game item into the real world: the Ring Terminal. A 1:1 replica of the device worn by characters like Sam Porter Bridges and Fragile, the Ring Terminal follows the success of its predecessor, the Cufflinks — an essential tool for Drawbridge operatives in the game's universe.
Crafted from a durable brass and steel alloy, the Ring Terminal utilizes both advanced electroforming and precise 5-axis CNC machining. The result is a complex piece comprising 30 meticulously micro-engineered components. Its adjustable design thoughtfully accommodates a wide range of finger sizes, while a custom electroplated finish mirrors the in-game coloration and is designed to evolve through natural oxidation — adding a unique, lived-in character.
The Ring Terminal also integrates NFC technology, allowing users to forge a symbolic connection with the immersive world ofDeath Stranding 2. While the display is non-functional and purely aesthetic, it enhances the object's narrative depth. Launching on June 26 at 10 p.m. EST, the Ring Terminal will be available exclusively through Anicorn's officialwebstorefor $240 USD.

I wish this Death Stranding 2 Ring Terminal replica were a real smart ring
TL;DR Kojima Productions and Anicorn have collaborated to create a 1:1 replica of the Ring Terminal from Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The Ring Terminal features NFC technology that allows users to 'forge a direct link with the immersive universe of Death Stranding 2.' The replica costs $240 and pre-orders open later today. Kojima Productions has just launched its highly anticipated title, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. If you want even more of a connection to the world of Death Stranding than simply playing the PS5 game can provide, then you may be interested in the new ring the studio made in collaboration with watchmaker Anicorn. The two companies have joined forces to create a 1:1 replica of an in-game item called the Ring Terminal. The Ring Terminal is an improved version of the Cuff Links — wearable computers issued to all members of Bridges — protagonist Sam Bridges wore in the first game. Unfortunately, this ring isn't as capable as the smart ring that appears in Death Stranding 2. Despite having a display, that display is just a printed-on visual representation. So the hardware won't function as an actual electronic display. However, it does include NFC technology that allows users to 'forge a direct link with the immersive universe of Death Stranding 2.' The company doesn't really explain what the ring actually does. Regardless, it's an impressive feat of engineering that includes over 30 distinct components. It can also adjust to different sizes, which Anicorn says it should fit sizes 3-15 for users in the US. The Terminal Ring will cost $240 when it becomes available. Fans can begin pre-ordering the replica today at 10PM ET on Anicorn's website. With that $240, you'll also get a fancy carrying case with a Bridges logo on it. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Who is this 'final' six-minute Death Stranding 2 trailer actually for?
Your Yahoo privacy setting is blocking social media and third-party content You can Allow your personal information to be shared and sold. Something went wrong. Try again. You can update your choice anytime by going to your privacy controls, which are linked to throughout our sites and apps. This page will now refresh. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is out today, not counting the early access period. Kojima Productions and publisher Sony couldn't resist putting out one last trailer. I wouldn't be surprised if the filename for it was something like DS2_FINAL_TRAILER_V17_noactuallyitsthelastone.mp4 and yet it still has a runtime of six minutes. Although there are some fun moments in this trailer, it's much too long. You probably shouldn't watch it if you'd like to stay as spoiler-free as possible before playing the game, as the trailer includes some heavy-handed teases and perhaps gives away some of DS2 's surprises. The game's director, Hideo Kojima, is a man with more ideas than he has time to execute. That's evident in his games, which are packed full of complexity and cinematics. I found a YouTube video titled " Death Stranding 2 All Cutscenes Part 1" that's nearly two hours long. In other words, these games are a lot (though it is cute that there's a special cutscene when it's your birthday). Fittingly, the trailers are excessive as well. By my count, we've now had over 30 minutes of DS2 trailers, including a 10-minute one. That's not counting the 22-minute gameplay demo at Summer Game Fest. There will be more trailers when Death Stranding 2 inevitably migrates from the PS5 to other platforms, so I don't believe for a second that this is the "final" one. Perhaps there will be a Director's Cut edition with its own trailers. Yes, studios, publishers and their marketing teams have a tough time on their hands trying to break through the noise and get their games on the radars of players who might want to check them out. But this is a Hideo Kojima game that Sony is publishing. A sequel to an acclaimed game that more than 20 million people have played. The vast majority of people who would be interested in Death Stranding 2 are likely already well aware of it. This probably didn't need a final trailer, and certainly not one that's six minutes long. (I am well aware of the irony that, by embedding it here, we're bringing more eyeballs to this trailer. Don't @ me.) Kojima famously edits the trailers for his games himself, and he did so with this one. But they could probably do with another pass in someone else's hands.
