A new release joins The Artbook Collector YouTube channel with a look at Kojima Productions' latest game with The Art of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach!
The 240-page hardcover was published by Titan Books on February 17th 2026, coming in the same format as the artbook for the first game, The Art of Death Stranding. Not only does it match in size, but it also comes with gilded edges and page interiors too, this time with bronze to give it a premium feel. Check out the preview below.
Inside is a look at the concept art from the fan favourite Art Director Yoji Shinkawa and his team for the characters, technology, vehicles, enemies, locations, and weapons, giving players a look at the early designs behind the world of the game. It shares a lot of unused designs too, including a battle suit for Fragile, a katana wielding Tomorrow, and vehicles that didn't get added. There's not much to read, but some of the pages share some interesting design insights.
In my review I talk about how I enjoyed the range of both art styles and stages of development on show, as well as the production quality of the book. It's a design focused book that is light on keyframe and gameplay moment concepts which is worth keeping in mind too. You can read my full review here - Book Review.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach from director Hideo Kojima continues the story of Sam Bridges in a post-apocalyptic world plagued by supernatural forces. Taking what made the first game a hit with fans, the sequel introduces players to new environments, threats, and characters, along with more traversal, stealth, and action gameplay. The game was released on PlayStation 5 in 2025 and arrives on PC on March 19th 2026.
You can also check out a flip through of the first book, The Art of Death Stranding, here.
