Sony and Kojima Productions have officially revealed a brand-new limited-edition PS5 DualSense controller inspired by Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, set to launch alongside the game on June 26, 2025.

Announced via the PlayStation Blog and featured during a special promotional video, the Death Stranding 2 DualSense controller sports a Midnight Black colorway accented with striking orange detailing. The standout feature? A Drawbridge insignia and the organization’s motto—“Both stick and rope, to protect and connect. Together, from tomorrow”—etched across the touchpad. The design aims to visually channel the themes of connection, isolation, and resilience central to Hideo Kojima’s upcoming sequel.

According to Sony, the controller was developed in close collaboration with Kojima Productions to ensure it authentically reflected the tone and atmosphere of the game.

Pre-Orders Go Live Soon

The Death Stranding 2 DualSense controller will be available for pre-order starting May 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time, exclusively through PlayStation Direct and select participating retailers.

Sony has confirmed that quantities will be limited, and with past special edition controllers selling out in minutes, this one is expected to be no different.

A Collector’s Must-Have

With Death Stranding 2: On the Beach shaping up to be one of 2025’s most anticipated PS5 exclusives, this controller offers an appealing collectible for hardcore fans of Kojima’s universe. While there’s been no word on whether a full-blown console bundle is coming, many fans speculate that more themed accessories could be on the way as the game’s launch draws closer.

1-Up Games will keep you updated on any additional announcements regarding Death Stranding 2 accessories or hardware.

Availability in Australia

Australian fans can expect the controller to go live on May 22 at 10:00 AM AEST, likely through the region’s PlayStation Direct storefront and potentially local partners such as EB Games. As always, regional availability may vary, so checking with local retailers is advised.
