Unboxing The 'Death Stranding 2: On the Beach' Collector's Edition!
At a time when the world was moving toward isolation, Death Stranding served as a poignant, if peculiar, study in human connections and bonds. The thematic exploration resonated with real-world concerns, with director Hideo Kojima sprucing up visual storytelling in a way that only he can, and its sequel, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach , looks set to be bigger and bolder than before.
Set 11 months after the events of the first, the highly anticipated title continues the journey of Sam Porter Bridges across the Australian continent, as the freelance porter connects isolated survivors and colonies to the wireless communications 'chiral' network to save humanity from extinction. This time, however, there will be more action and other new elements to expect, making it only apt to celebrate its return with fanfare — that is, a glorious Collector's Edition fit for any fan.
Here's what to expect from the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Collector's Edition, which also includes all pre-order bonus content comprising the Battle / Boost / Bokka Skeleton: Silver (Lv 1, Lv 2, Lv 3) cosmetic, and a quokka custom hologram: Digital download of the full game
15-inch Magellan Man statue
3-inch Dollman figurine
Art cards
Letter from Hideo Kojima
In-game items: Machine Gun (MP Bullets) Lv 1 Early Unlock Battle Skeleton: Gold (Lv 1, Lv 2, Lv 3) Boost Skeleton: Gold (Lv 1, Lv 2, Lv 3) Bokka Skeleton: Gold (Lv 1, Lv 2, Lv 3) Patch 70: Quokka Patch 71: Chiral Feline Patch 72: Why Me?
As expected of the centrepiece, the Magellan Man statue oozes a premium finish that translates to intricate sculpting and an impressive attention to detail, from the rust on its body to the design of its tar-drenched wings.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach releases exclusively for the PS5 on 24 June.

Capcom Drops First 'Resident Evil Requiem' Gameplay, Explains Why Leon Isn't The Focus
Capcom has revealed the first gameplay tease for its highly anticipated survival horror sequel, Resident Evil Requiem , showing off both first and third-person gameplay and highlighting its new protagonist, FBI Agent Grace Ashcroft. Shown via the Capcom Spotlight event, brief snippets of the upcoming title were shown, including clips of Ashcroft slowly moving through dimly lit corridors with a lighter in hand, stalked by a giant humanoid creature that's pure nightmare fuel. On first look, the game does give off similar vibes to 2017's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, with its tight, claustrophobic interiors, although this might just be a specific section of the game, and environments might open up as the game progresses, similar to 2021's Resident Evil Village . In the trailer, game director Koshi Nakanishi explains the focus on a new protagonist this time around, with the game centred on a new type of character for the series, the introverted and jumpy FBI intelligence analyst Ashcroft. 'We wanted someone that experiences horror from the same perspective as the player,' Nakanishi explained, adding that even though the goal was to allow players to witness Ashcroft overcome her fears over the course of the story, she's not entirely helpless either, being trained with firearms and possessing 'calm deductive reasoning'. Gameplay for both the titles' first and third-person perspectives were also shown, with the developers explaining how the former makes for 'tense, realistic gameplay', while the latter is 'great for people who enjoy action-heavy gameplay', offering more freedom for players to experience the title in their own way. Alas, the trailer didn't feature the big Leon Kennedy reveal fans were expecting, with the developers instead noting why the franchise veteran was actually a 'bad match for horror'. 'We always thought about making Leon the protagonist,' Nakanishi explained, 'but making a horror game based around him is difficult. He wouldn't jump at a bucket falling. No one wants to see Leon scared by every little thing.' Despite the statement, Leon's appearance in the game was not ruled out entirely, adding to fan speculation that he might be the game's unannounced second protagonist, and would show up in the later portions of the game, similar to Resident Evil Village 's closing section with Chris Redfield. This follows details spotted in the game's reveal trailer hinting at Leon's presence, including the character's truck parked outside the ruins of the Raccoon City Police Department, the character's voice actor Nick Apostolides' online resume, and comments by Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem. In any case, it's still early to say for sure, with more details surrounding Resident Evil Requiem's plot and characters bound to come as the game approaches its 27 February 2026 release for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

50 Cent Joins Orville Peck In Growing ‘Street Fighter' Reboot Film Cast
Legendary Pictures has chosen the fighters for its upcoming live-action Street Fighter film adaptation, and Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson is the latest addition to the roster. The rapper-turned-actor will play muscular boxer Balrog, and according to sources, is currently in training to do his own stunts for the production. Joining him is country singer Orville Peck as Vega, alongside Jason Momoa ( Aquaman ) as Blanka, The Recruit star Noah Centineo as Ken, and Callina Liang ( Presenc e) as Chun-Li. WWE superstar Roman Reign, or Joe Anoa'i, and Andrew Koji ( Warrior ) are also entering the ring as Akuma and lead brawler Ryu, respectively, rounding out an eclectic ensemble cast. Kitao Sakurai ( The Eric Andre Show ) helms the project, which begins production this August in Australia. While plot details remain under wraps, it is expected to follow the same premise as its 1987 arcade game, revolving around a tournament organised by M. Bison, the leader of the evil organisation Shadaloo. News of the live-action Street Fighter movie first broke in April 2023, with Danny and Michael Philippou of Talk to Me fame originally set to direct. However, scheduling conflicts saw the brothers exit the project, with Sakurai taking over the reins. It was initially slated for release on 20 March 2026, but has been delayed indefinitely. It remains to be seen how the film will bring the beloved legacy to the big screen, following the commercial and critical flop of Steven E. de Souza's 1994 adaptation. Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia starred in this iteration, accompanied by supporting performances by Byron Mann, Damian Chapa, Kylie Minogue, Ming-Na Wen, Wes Studi, and more.

'Street Fighter 6' Gets Original Final Boss Sagat As Next DLC Character; Adds Skimpy Swimsuits
Capcom's 2023 fighting game Street Fighter 6 has entered year 3 of its post-launch content line-up, with the next character heading to its roster being Sagat, the final boss of the original arcade game, alongside swimwear outfits for some of its current fighters. Announced during the Capcom Showcase, Sagat will make his grand return on 5 August 2025, sporting a fresh new fur coat, alongside a return of his tiger-based powers. In addition, the Sagat Arrives! Fighting Pass will mark his imminent arrival when it launches on 4 July, bringing his wanderer avatar gear cosmetic pack alongside increasing the amount of content in the Fighting Pass that can be used in Fighting Ground, including new challenger screens, EX Colours, character titles and music. Fans were also treated to the long-anticipated reveal of the game's Outfit 4 content, which brings a set of skimpy swimwear cosmetics to seven characters: Cammy, Luke, Chun-Li, Manon, Jamie, Kimberly, and A.K.I. These outfits will release alongside the Sagat update, with the team continuing to work on swimwear costumes for the rest of the game's roster. Sagat was also announced alongside the remaining three DLC characters arriving in year 3, including Crimson Viper, Alex and Ingrid, marking the return of more franchise alumni to the latest instalment. It looks like Street Fighter fans are in for a busy few years, as apart from receiving these game updates, the live-action Street Fighter movie has also been steadily building up its roster of characters, with rapper 50 Cent joining the cast as boxer Balrog alongside country singer Orville Peck as Vega. The duo joins the previously revealed roster of Callina Liang ( Presence ), Jason Momoa ( Aquaman ), Noah Centineo ( The Recruit ), Andrew Koji ( Warrior ), and WWE superstar Roman Reigns as Chun-Li, Blanka, Ken, Ryu and Akuma, respectively, as the film approaches its release sometime in the future.
