Unboxing The 'Death Stranding 2: On the Beach' Collector's Edition!
At a time when the world was moving toward isolation, Death Stranding served as a poignant, if peculiar, study in human connections and bonds. The thematic exploration resonated with real-world concerns, with director Hideo Kojima sprucing up visual storytelling in a way that only he can, and its sequel, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach , looks set to be bigger and bolder than before.
Set 11 months after the events of the first, the highly anticipated title continues the journey of Sam Porter Bridges across the Australian continent, as the freelance porter connects isolated survivors and colonies to the wireless communications 'chiral' network to save humanity from extinction. This time, however, there will be more action and other new elements to expect, making it only apt to celebrate its return with fanfare — that is, a glorious Collector's Edition fit for any fan.
Here's what to expect from the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Collector's Edition, which also includes all pre-order bonus content comprising the Battle / Boost / Bokka Skeleton: Silver (Lv 1, Lv 2, Lv 3) cosmetic, and a quokka custom hologram: Digital download of the full game
15-inch Magellan Man statue

In-game items: Machine Gun (MP Bullets) Lv 1 Early Unlock Battle Skeleton: Gold (Lv 1, Lv 2, Lv 3) Boost Skeleton: Gold (Lv 1, Lv 2, Lv 3) Bokka Skeleton: Gold (Lv 1, Lv 2, Lv 3) Patch 70: Quokka Patch 71: Chiral Feline Patch 72: Why Me?
As expected of the centrepiece, the Magellan Man statue oozes a premium finish that translates to intricate sculpting and an impressive attention to detail, from the rust on its body to the design of its tar-drenched wings.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach releases exclusively for the PS5 on 24 June.
