CASETiFY Has Death Stranding-Themed Accessories Upcoming

CASETiFY has teamed up with Kojima Productions to release a Death Stranding-themed accessory collection, marking their 15th anniversary. This collaboration, also coinciding with Kojima Productions' 10th anniversary, includes a 3D Crafted Aluminium Case, designed by Yoji Shinkawa, and other accessories such as phone cases, collectible cards, and AirPods.

Other cases include the Yoji Shinkawa Art Edition and the Ludens Emblem case. Additional Death Stranding-themed accessories include the Ludens Duck, Dollman, and Qpid Wristlet. Despite the collection's intriguing designs, there is no information on pricing or availability.

These limited-edition products will be launched on 15 October, but the markets they'll be available in remain unknown.
