Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is supported by an expanding merchandise and event program in Japan, including Banpresto prize figures, a CD player collaboration, a pop-up store, and a Shibuya PARCO event with an RC car course. The game itself has not been the subject of recent coverage beyond these tie-ins.
Recent coverage of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has centered on a wave of merchandise and promotional events in Japan, rather than on the game's development or release. Banpresto has moved the title into the crane game market with a series of prize figures. A 29 cm Mechamofugutto plushie of the Duck character appeared on June 9, 2026, followed by a 12 cm monitor top figure of protagonist Sam on June 23, 2026. A deformed Higgs figure, also about 12 cm tall, joined the lineup on July 14, 2026, as part of the Monitor Top Figure series, with a base carrying the game logo.
Kojima Productions has extended the brand into hardware and lifestyle goods. A collaboration with km5 produced the Instant Disc Audio Cp1 DEATH STRANDING 2 Model, a wireless CD player styled after the BB Pod, launching August 1, 2026, and sold at the KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS × PARCO GAMES STRAND STORE at Shibuya PARCO. The pop-up store, run with Parco Games, added a knit tote bag with the Ahiru-Ludens motif, a T-shirt with a new Ludens illustration by Yoji Shinkawa, and collaborations with Disk Union and BLOCKHEAD MOTORS. A Shinkawa rough sketch exhibition and an RC car event are also planned.
The RC car theme extends to a larger event. Shibuya PARCO hosts CHAOS CULTURE GEEK from August 7 to August 11, 2026, with an opening party by AVYSS, a SEGA UNIVERSE PLAYGROUND day, and a special RC car course from Kojima Productions and BLOCKHEAD MOTORS based on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Separately, iiyama PC, through Unitcom, released recommended gaming PCs for the game on June 5, 2026, with AMD Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics, priced from 264,800 yen.
