On August 1, 2026, KM5 Co., Ltd. will launch the highly anticipated DEATH STRANDING 2 model of their wireless CD player, entitled
Instant Disc Audio CP1 DEATH STRANDING 2 Model. This exciting product represents an official collaboration with the iconic game studio KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, led by renowned game creator Hideo Kojima. The model will be showcased and sold at the ongoing "KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS × PARCO GAMES STRAND STORE" in Shibuya, starting the same day.
The Inspiration Behind the Collaboration
The collaboration between KM5 and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS stems from their shared commitment to innovative experiences, especially through music. Hideo Kojima's narrative-driven gaming experiences often integrate music as a central element, while KM5 focuses on enhancing music via high-quality audio products. The partnership is particularly special as Kojima has openly expressed his passion for analog media, making this collaboration a perfect match to create an engaging way for fans to enjoy CDs.
Design Features of the Instant Disc Audio CP1 DEATH STRANDING 2 Model
The design for the collaboration model draws inspiration from the
BB Pod, a significant symbol in the
DEATH STRANDING series. It features a unique color scheme along with caution marks subtly integrated into its design, capturing the essence of the
DEATH STRANDING 2 universe. Additionally, the exterior packaging has been specifically designed for this collaboration, combining KM5's sleek aesthetic with mechanical motifs from the
DEATH STRANDING series for a unique limited edition entry.
Moreover, each unit comes with two exclusive postcards featuring scenes and motifs from
DEATH STRANDING 2, providing fans with a deeper connection to the game. These postcards can be fitted into the main unit, further enhancing the gaming experience.
