Last week Hideo Kojima took the stage at SXSW for a lengthy sit down where one of gaming’s most celebrated creators debuted a new 10-minute trailer for the upcoming Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Alongside new details on the game and some gameplay footage, we also got caught the June 26 release date and details on the epic Collector’s Edition of the game that is set to go up for pre-order this morning.
Death Stranding 2 Collector’s Edition pre-orders go live today
Death Stranding 2 is indeed a direct sequel to the original and will once again see Sam Bridges alongside a series of new and returning cast of characters set out to save humanity from extinction. “The large open-world environments of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach are full of secrets to be found…Whether facing human foes or otherworldly entities, a range of options are at your disposal. Do you go in aggressively, sneak around enemies to achieve your goals, or try to avoid danger altogether? How you approach these situations is up to you.”
We now know it is set to release this summer on June 26, 2025 worldwide, providing you don’t score the Collector’s Edition anyway – it releases two days earlier on June 24 and goes up for pre-order today. Anyone who has attempted to score one of these relatively limited CE version of the big releases already knows how tough it can be after the pre-order phase so we wanted to make sure Kojima and Death Stranding fans were fully aware of today’s pre-order launch.
The Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Collector’s Edition will go up for pre-order exclusively at PS Direct start today, March 17 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET – Sony will likely allows folks to get in a virtual queue of sorts well ahead of that time, so it will be a good idea to be ready to go early.
We already detailed the contents of the $79.99 Digital Deluxe Edition in our SXSW coverage – it too comes with 48-hour early access to the game, but if you want the complete Collector’s Edition package, pre-orders will go live this morning and here’s a refresher on everything it includes:
