The lid has just been blown off Death Stranding. Not only do we have an awesome new trailer, we now know the official release date. You won't be short of ways to buy Hideo Kojima's PlayStation 4 exclusive, either. Over on the PlayStation Blog, several editions of the game have been unveiled. Let's go through them.
Standard Edition
Pre-ordering the Standard Edition of the game will net you a PS4 dynamic theme and a "Chibi Ludens" PSN avatar. You'll also gain access to some in-game unlocks for a suite of gold items, like sunglasses, a hat, and more.
Special Edition
The Special Edition comes with a steelbook case, a pair of "Ludens Mask" sunglasses, the soundtrack, and a behind the scenes video. Pre-ordering gets you the same rewards as the standard version.
Digital Deluxe Edition
The Digital Deluxe Edition is next up. Pre-order this version to get all the aforementioned digital rewards, plus special gold versions of certain in-game items. Gold seems important in this game.
Collector's Edition
And finally, the Collector's Edition. This box of wonders comes with a life-size BB Pod -- the capsule with a baby inside. That won't be a freaky addition to your living room at all. You'll also get a BRIDGES cargo case and a Ludens keychain, as well as all the digital goodies.
Will you be grabbing any of these special editions of Death Stranding? Hold onto the past in the comments below.

Well you have to have bling when traversing purgatory, or wherever you are in this crazy game.
It's $200, so no thank you. I'll stick with my physical steel book edition.
Remember a baby is for life, not to play for 20 hours then trade it at CeX.
As long as it doesn't crawl down your throat while you're asleep I think this is pretty cool, in a very weird way.
It's 200 euros? Damn...it's pricey...but I REALLY want the baby lol
wait what????let me get this straight...... they come with 1:1 adult human sized Exoskeletons (I know they're not functional lol)?????
EDIT: DUMB me didnt bother reading that they were in game Items LOL
Such a weird collector's edition.
Weirdly fitting for a game like this.
do want, will go nicely with my pip boy
I rather have a chucky doll.hi I'm chucky wanna play😊hahaha.word up son
If you press its tummy it talks for half an hour about the nature of warfare and the moral issues raised by cloning
I don't want it, but naming the "bridge baby" pod "BB" so we can pretty much pronounce it as "baby pod" makes me happy.
Has there been a thorough explanation of the main story line yet? I'm assuming the "death stranding" title refers to the black gunk which both "strands' the living in the dead world but also acts as strands for the dead to join the living world. And the living baby pods help to act as a bridge so the living can traverse between the two, and they seem to act like sonar to help spot the apparently invisible dead in our world. All of which I'm assuming was caused by some science experiment gone horribly wrong. Or the same people that created Gilead in A Handmade's Tale b/c babies.
It's $200 & then 18 years of support.
That's where they get you.
Damn babies.
@playstation1995 Do you have one of those??I remember doing a competition to win a Chucky Doll to coincide with Child's Play 2.Was so gutted I never won it lol.don't really like the look of the reboot chucky.
As for this...is it weird to just want a baby in a pod and the game?lol
@Wazeddie22 hahaha.the first childs play was a masterpiece.easily my top 10 movie ever.with menace 2 society.juice.nightmare on Elm Street.the warriors.scarface.new jack city.etc.word up son
This might be the first Collector's Edition for me.
The steelbook is mine
My Wife best not see this. Our family is big enough.
Great headline or greatest headline? You had fun writing that one and I laughed. I hope you can pose the fingers to do a thumbs up sign.
@RBMango You mean €200 somehow Sony does not the difference between currency if its about Europe. Come to think of it i will buy 3 collectors editions from nisa.
@Rash Should have bought the Horizon Zero Dawn one that one looks way cooler and it was half the price. 😁
@Flaming_Kaiser Each to their own. Horizon Zero Dawn was a great game, but I wouldn't go as far as getting a collector's edition for it. Death Stranding on the other hand...
@Rash I think a baby put between Lara Croft and Aloy would be weird. 😆
@Flaming_Kaiser True, but I like cryptic and cool stuff. 😆
@Rash I got too be honest it looks really Kojima.
@Flaming_Kaiser Ever since I played Metal Gear Sold V: Phantom Pain I fell in love with the greatest game I ever played. Even after Red Dead Redemption 2, I just felt I like going back to Platinum and did of a game I played years ago. 6 months later now, I'm still playing MGSV and up to my last FOB platform upgrades, with still heaps of developing. Maybe I'll still be playing to accomplish MGSV when Death Stranding comes out, but in the end that baby even if it looks Kojima, it represents life and at that he is saying thank you to all the gamers in the world for buying his game.
It is the greatest respect for a collectors item I've ever seen in representation.
@Rash I can respect that i stood inline too get a autograph and he left with 3 people before me.... 😑 😔
