Hideo Kojima is releasing a real-life Death Stranding exoskeleton, because of course he is

Kojima Productions has certainly never shied away from producing bizarre merch for Death Stranding.

The first game featured fun items like Q-pid necklaces and miniature BB pods, but Death Stranding 2 went a step further by creating a life-sized, working replica of Sam’s Ring Terminal.

Although Hideo Kojima is known for pushing boundaries, even we’d be surprised by his latest creation: a functioning, real-life exoskeleton. It seems he’s outdone himself this time.

Robotics firm Dnsys recently announced it’s partnering with Kojima Productions to create a real-life exoskeleton based on the game Death Stranding.

Dnsys has teamed up with Yoji Shinkawa, the art director from Kojima Productions, to create a special, limited-edition version of their Dnsys Z1 Exoskeleton called the DS2 collaboration.

Sam’s exoskeleton is a defining feature of Death Stranding, helping him navigate challenging landscapes. Dnsys says their work with Kojima Productions will now make the suit’s abilities feel even more realistic.

Yoji Shinkawa explained that the exoskeleton was designed with the same care and attention to detail as the world of Death Stranding. The team focused on every aspect to accurately reflect the game’s futuristic style, aiming for a look that would feel authentic to the character Sam Porter Bridges.

Putting it on feels like stepping directly into the world of Death Stranding, blurring the lines between what’s imagined and what’s real.

The new exoskeleton also includes features from Sam’s original design, like lights that indicate how much battery life is left and whether everything is working correctly.

The Dnsys Z1 Exoskeleton Pro, a special edition inspired by DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, will be available starting December 2nd, 2025.

Okay, so they haven’t said how much it’ll cost yet, but looking at what Dnsys usually charges – their stuff can go for up to $1500 – I’m guessing this limited edition is going to be pretty expensive. Prepare to shell out some serious cash!

However, if you deliver mail in a really difficult and unsafe area, then it might be a good thing to spend money on.
