Fans of the Death Stranding universe will soon have a new reason to head to Shibuya. A limited-time collaboration space, the “KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS × PARCO GAMES STRAND STORE,” is set to open on the fifth floor of Shibuya PARCO from June 6th through August 30th, 2026. The event is free to enter and builds on the ongoing partnership between KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS and PARCO GAMES.
Inspired by the “strand” concept central to the Death Stranding series, the pop-up aims to bring together gaming, fashion, music, food, and lifestyle culture under one roof. According to organizers, more than 15 brands will participate in collaborations tied to the idea of connection, which is a recurring theme in director Hideo Kojima’s work. Additional projects, exhibitions, and special events are expected to be announced throughout the summer-long run.
Visitors can also browse a large selection of exclusive merchandise. Event-only items include Ludens posters, logo bandanas, towels, acrylic keychains, trading pin badges, and beach sandals, alongside official Death Stranding 2: On the Beach goods and collectible figures. Shoppers who spend ¥5,000 or more will receive a random limited-edition Ludens card while supplies last.
The event arrives as the Death Stranding franchise continues to expand beyond gaming, with film and animation projects currently in development alongside the release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
Advance lottery reservations are required for admission on June 6th and 7th. More information can be found on the event’s official website via PARCO GAMES STRAND STORE page.
