Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has launched, with official recommended PCs from Iiyama PC and new crane game prizes from Banpresto. A live-action film adaptation is in active development with a near-complete script, and Hideo Kojima is being commemorated with his own Nendoroid figure.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is the current focus of the series. Unitcom released recommended gaming PCs under the LEVEL∞ series by Iiyama PC on June 5, 2026, with AMD Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics, starting at 264,800 yen. Two days later, Banpresto announced crane game prizes for the game: a 29 cm Mechamofugutto plushie of the Duck character appearing June 9, and a 12 cm monitor top figure of protagonist Sam appearing June 23, with a Higgs figure planned for July.
The live-action Death Stranding film is moving forward. Director Michael Sarnoski said during IGN Live 2026 that the script is almost finished. The film will tell an original story set in the game's world, with possible appearances by game characters. A24 and Hideo Kojima have read the script and are reportedly satisfied.
Outside the games and film, Hideo Kojima himself is getting a Nendoroid figure from Good Smile Arts Shanghai. The figure stands about 100mm tall, includes three expression parts and optional accessories, and is available for pre-order on Amazon Japan at 6,500 yen with a December 31, 2026 release date. The figure treats Kojima as a recognizable pop-culture icon in his own right, separate from his game characters.
