Coverage of Death Stranding 2 in this stretch is merchandise and events, not the game. The earliest item sets a hardware baseline: Unitcom released LEVEL∞ recommended PCs for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach under the iiyama PC brand on June 5, 2026, starting at 264,800 yen, with AMD Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics, BTO configuration, and compliance with Japan's Green Purchasing Law.
Banpresto then opened the crane game side. A 29 cm Mechamofugutto plushie of the Duck character appeared June 9, 2026, followed by a 12 cm monitor top figure of protagonist Sam on June 23, 2026, with a Higgs figure planned for July. That Higgs figure arrived as part of the Monitor Top Figure series on July 14, 2026, a deformed design about 12 cm tall with a base carrying the game logo, distributed by BANDAI SPIRITS.
August shifted to Shibuya. Shibuya PARCO ran CHAOS CULTURE GEEK from August 7 to August 11, a program that included a SEGA UNIVERSE PLAYGROUND day and an RC car course from Kojima Productions and BLOCKHEAD MOTORS based on Death Stranding 2. A Kojima Productions pop-up store at Shibuya PARCO added August products, among them 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, plus an exhibition of Shinkawa's rough sketches and an RC car event.
Separately, km5 released the Instant Disc Audio Cp1 Death Stranding 2 Model, a wireless CD player designed after the BB Pod, on August 1, 2026, also sold at the KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS x PARCO GAMES STRAND STORE at Shibuya PARCO. The line runs from PC hardware through prize figures to apparel, audio, and event programming.
