Fans of Hideo Kojima’s universe have something to celebrate because preorders for the official Death Stranding 2 novelization are live. Following the success of the original game's adaptation, this new prose volume brings the world of On the Beach directly to readers.
Details on the Death Stranding 2 Novelization Preorder
The first installment is currently available for purchase through major retailers including Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The paperback version is priced at $19, while an eBook option is available for $11.
While some product listings indicate a release date of October 20, 2026, other details suggest the book will arrive as early as October 13 later this year. This volume serves as the first of at least two expected parts in the series.
Expanding the Story of On the Beach
Much like its predecessor, this adaptation is penned by Hitori Nojima and translated by Carley Radford. The book provides a retelling of the game's intense events, picking up where Sam Porter Bridges left off after his period of anonymity following the restoration of America.
In this chapter of the saga, Sam is joined by Fragile and other key allies. Their new mission is to rescue humanity from extinction, a journey that will take them across the globe from Mexico to Australia.
A Collector's Must-Have
The upcoming volume is already shaping up to be a substantial read for fans. Here are a few key details regarding this release:
- Page Count: The paperback features approximately 336 pages.
- Cover Art: The design utilizes the game's iconic theatrical poster art, featuring a collage of the cast.
- Visual Style: The aesthetic is reminiscent of the legendary work of Drew Struzan, famous for Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
If you are looking to fill your reading list while waiting for the next volume, the original 600-page, two-volume novelization of the first game is currently available in physical and audiobook editions via Amazon.
For those who prefer to jump straight into the gameplay, Death Stranding 2 on PS5 is also available through Amazon for $59 (reduced from $70).
