Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (PS5)

This item is a physical copy of the video game 'Death Stranding 2: On the Beach' for the PlayStation 5 console, still sealed in its original plastic wrap. The game case is a standard U.S. PlayStation 5 issue, characterized by its blue plastic spine and clear front panel under the shrink wrap. The front cover art features a prominent image of a man and a small child in a tender moment, with the man's forehead touching the child's. The background has vertical lines and a distinctive red, somewhat mechanical or organic, design on the right side. The game title, 'DEATH STRANDING 2', is centrally located in white block letters, with 'ON THE BEACH' directly below it. At the top left, the 'PS5' logo is clearly visible, indicating compatibility with the PlayStation 5 system. Below that, the 'M' rating from the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) for 'Mature 17+' is displayed, suggesting content suitable for older players. In the bottom right corner, the PlayStation logo and the 'KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS' studio logo are present. The sealed plastic wrap indicates that the game is new and unused, enhancing its collectible value. The overall condition appears excellent, with no visible tears, scuffs, or significant damage to the plastic wrap or the case beneath. This suggests careful handling and storage. This item is representative of contemporary video game releases for current-generation consoles. The imagery on the cover is evocative and aligns with the artistic style often associated with Hideo Kojima's works, hinting at themes of connection and survival.
