When Death Stranding launched in 2019, it challenged gameplay norms by introducing some of the most unconventional gameplay ever designed, and in one of the industry's most bizarre worlds, no less. Despite its willingness to go against the grain and therefore the major risks it took, however, it quickly gained a considerable following filled with fans who have been waiting for more ever since. Now, with Death Stranding 2: On the Beach slated to arrive in June 2025, anticipation for the sequel has never been higher, and Kojima Productions is capitalizing on that hype by offering a Collector's Edition of the game that is filled with plenty of goodies for Death Stranding fans.
As with the original game, Kojima Productions is offering a Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Collector's Edition designed for die-hard fans and lore enthusiasts alike. Included in the Collector's Edition are a variety of items based on characters in the game, as well as its development and a personal touch from Hideo Kojima himself. Priced at a steep $229.99, it's still the perfect way for Death Stranding's biggest fans to show their love for the franchise and newcomers to get a hands-on taste of what its world is really like.
Why Death Stranding 2’s World Feels Both Familiar and Uncharted
Death Stranding 2 revisits key biomes with expanded scale, visual variety, and new hazards that give each environment a more distinct identity.
Everything Included in Death Stranding 2's Collector's Edition
As with any Collector's Edition, Death Stranding 2's features tangible items based on certain elements in the game — typically, characters or weapons. In the case of Death Stranding 2's Collector's Edition, owners are treated to a couple of sculptures designed to reflect the image of the game's Magellan Man and Dollman characters. Additionally, they'll receive a set of art cards featuring the artwork of Death Stranding 2, a personal letter from Hideo Kojima, and a special Collector's Box to store all of their newly found items.
- Full Game Digital Download: Access to the complete game
- 48-Hour Early Access: Begin playing on June 24, 2025, two days before the official release

The Magellan Man statue and Dollman figurine are undoubtedly the highlights here, and are clearly very intricately designed. Death Stranding 2's Magellan Man is a fusion of the DHV Magellan ship and a colossal tar entity that will seemingly help Sam and his allies take on the game's biggest enemies, and it appears Dollman will be accompanying Sam on his journeys, much like God of War's Mimir does with Kratos.
Every In-Game Item Included in Death Stranding 2's Collector's Edition
Death Stranding 2's Collector's Edition also includes plenty of in-game items that should benefit players as well. While some of these items are cosmetics for Sam to wear, others are weapons and gear that should help players succeed as they venture into the vast unknown of Death Stranding 2's world.

All things considered, Death Stranding 2's Collector's Edition does exactly what it's supposed to in offering high-end collectibles for hardcore fans and just enough in-game perks to make the deal even better. Between the intricately designed statues, the early access bonus, and the valuable in-game items, it's clearly designed for those already invested in Kojima's world. On the other hand, newcomers wanting to plunge themeselves headfirst into the world of Death Stranding 2 might also find something worthy of acquiring here too.
