Which Death Stranding 2 Edition Should You Buy?
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will launch on June 26 exclusively for the PlayStation 5, but those who buy a special edition of the game can access it early. The question is, with three options available, which special edition version should you get? Death Stranding 2 is the sequel to legendary developer Hideo Kojima's 2019 game, and it improves on every aspect of the original, making it a title anyone remotely interested in it should play. The edition you decide to purchase will entirely depend on how much of a fan you are of the franchise. Now Playing: Unboxing the Death Stranding 2 PS5 Controller 00:45 Up first is the Standard Edition, which retails for $70. Ordering the Standard Edition of Death Stranding 2 from Sony comes with the same 48-hour early access that all editions have, which will begin at 12 a.m. ET on June 24 and 9 p.m. ET on June 23. Kojima Productions Included in this edition is some additional digital content: Quokka Hologram Battle Skeleton: Silver (LV1, LV2, LV3) Boost Skeleton: Silver (LV1, LV2, LV3) Bokka Skeleton: Silver (LV1, LV2, LV3) Holograms get unlocked the more you play through the game. These holograms can be placed at structures that the main character, Sam, builds as a little sign that you were there. Skeletons are equippable and help Sam physically while allowing him to carry more items. The Battle Skeleton lets Sam do more damage with physical attacks, the Boost Skeleton helps Sam run faster while carrying a lot of items and the Bokka Skeleton helps Sam climb up certain terrains while being more balanced, so he won't tip over. This content, however, is just a cosmetic color for the Skeleton. It will not unlock the item, as that has to be done by completing missions in the game. Next, there's the Digital Deluxe Edition for $80. Kojima Productions The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the 48-hour early access and the Skeleton cosmetics, although in this edition, it's gold and not silver. This edition also comes with: Machine Gun (MP Bullets) LV1 early unlock Quokka Patch Chiral Feline Patch Why Me? Patch The Machine Gun is a weapon you get later in the game, and it's powerful thanks to its large magazine filled with bullets. It can shoot for longer than the Assault Rifle found early in the game. MP Bullets are the standard type of bullets found in the game that can damage humans, BTs and robots. The patches are for Sam's backpack. They are strictly cosmetic and offer no in-game advantage. Then, for the big fans of Death Stranding, there's the Collector's Edition that costs $230. Kojima Productions The Collector's Edition comes with all the digital content from the Deluxe Edition in addition to some real-life collectibles in a collector's box. It includes: 15-inch Magellan Man Statue 3-inch Dollman figurine Art cards Letter from Hideo Kojima All of these editions are available to order now.

Enzo Maresca says Chelsea training ‘impossible' in extreme heat ahead of Esperance match
Enzo Maresca admits it is 'impossible' for his Chelsea players to train properly in the extreme Philadelphia heat as they prepare for their final FIFA Club World Cup group match against Esperance de Tunis on Tuesday. Chelsea deployed huge industrial fans by the side of the pitch at their training base in Subaru Park on Monday and utilised cooling sprays to try to mitigate the effects of temperatures expected to peak at 37 degrees celsius (98.6 degrees fahrenheit) in Philadelphia ahead of the game, which is scheduled to kick off at 9pm local time. Advertisement An extreme heat warning has been issued with the public warned to avoid strenuous activities outside, but Chelsea have no choice but to push hard against Esperance after Friday's 3-1 defeat against Flamengo left their hopes of advancing from Group D in the balance. The Athletic reported this morning on the concerns of players, club executives and fans about conditions at the tournament with experts suggesting FIFA takes proactive moves to ensure safety. 'It's almost impossible to train, or to make a session because of the weather now,' Maresca said in his pre-match press conference. 'We are trying just to save energy for the game. This morning's session was very very very short, and it has just been about tomorrow's game plan and that's it, no more than that. Because as you can see it's not easy with these conditions, with this temperature, but we are going to try to do our best. 'I always try to avoid excuses, but I try to be honest: it's not about excuses, it's about reality. It is an excuse when it is not hot and we say that it is hot. That is an excuse. But if it's hot, it's hot. And it is difficult to work with this temperature. But we are here, we are trying to do our best and we are going to try to win again. This is the only thing that we can say and we can do.' Chelsea captain Reece James sat out Monday's open training session due to illness, and Maresca also explained why Nicolas Jackson was not involved as he prepares to serve a one-match suspension for being sent off against Flamengo. 'Nico was not in the session this morning because it's the day before the game,' Maresca said of Jackson. 'We just used the ones that we're going to prepare for the game (with) and because he's not in the game tomorrow, he was not with us. We used only the ones that are available for tomorrow.'

Nuggets revamp front office by promoting Ben Tenzer, bring in Jonathan Wallace from Timberwolves
DENVER (AP) — The Denver Nuggets revamped their front office Monday by promoting interim general manager Ben Tenzer to executive vice president of basketball operations and bringing in Minnesota's Jonathan Wallace to serve as the executive VP of basketball operations. The announcement was made by the team days before an NBA draft where the Nuggets don't have a first-round pick. Tenzer and Wallace will try to find creative ways to build depth around a nucleus that includes three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun. Tenzer was named interim GM in April when Josh Kroenke, the vice chairman Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, made a stunning move by firing the team's all-time winningest coach, Michael Malone, and general manager Calvin Booth with three games left in the regular season. Malone led the Nuggets to their lone NBA title in 2023. David Adelman stepped in as interim coach and landed the full-time gig last month after steering the team in the right direction. The Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Clippers in seven games and then took the newly crowned NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder to a Game 7 in the second round before bowing out of the playoffs. 'Ben did a terrific job leading the organization as the interim general manager during a challenging stretch, and it was clear during that time that he had earned the respect of our players, coaches, staff and his peers,' Josh Kroenke said in a statement. 'In spending time with Jon, his leadership, quiet confidence and relationship-oriented mindset stood out and we are excited to bring such a fast-rising executive back home to Denver.' ESPN first reported the hiring of Tenzer and Wallace. Tenzer is entering his 17th season with the organization, the last four as the VP of basketball operations. He worked with Booth on all aspects of the game. He also was the GM of the Nuggets' G-League affiliate the Grand Rapids Gold for the last two seasons. Wallace rejoins the Nuggets after three seasons as the director of player personnel for the Timberwolves. In addition, he was the GM of Minnesota's G-League affiliate, the Iowa Wolves. Before his time in Minnesota, Wallace was a scouting coordinator for the Nuggets. He originally joined the organization as a basketball operations associate in 2019. 'We have the utmost confidence in both Ben and Jon,' owner E. Stanley Kroenke said in a statement. 'They have been integral parts of our team already, so we know their dedication and hard work first-hand and we're looking forward to their continued growth and the vision they have for this team.' ___ AP NBA:
