Death Stranding 2 Has A Wearable But Its Purpose Is Unknown

In a move that embodies the iconic style of Hideo Kojima, enthusiasts of Death Stranding 2 can now own a stunning replica of the game’s Ring Terminal. Crafted from a blend of brass and steel alloy, this ring boasts an adjustable band, making it suitable for nearly any finger size. Plus, it features NFC technology, which supposedly creates a direct connection to the immersive world of Death Stranding 2. However, its actual functionality remains a bit of a mystery.

This piece serves primarily as a beautifully crafted collectible for passionate fans. The ring is a precise 1:1 replica of those worn by characters Sam Porter Bridges and Fragile, with Kojima himself actively involved in the design process to ensure its authenticity. The ring’s silver hue is achieved through an electroplating method that mimics its in-game portrayal.

Boasting over 30 intricate components, including minuscule screws that hold everything together, the Ring Terminal exemplifies impressive engineering. This complexity allows for easy adjustments, fitting fingers ranging from 1.74 to 2.94 inches in diameter—equivalent to U.S. ring sizes from 3 to 15.

Although the Ring Terminal includes a display, it is non-functional, merely representing what it could show if it were operational. So, you shouldn’t expect to use it to check your real-world cargo, though that would be an intriguing feature.

If you’re thinking about adding the Ring Terminal to your collection, it will be available for preorder tonight at 10 PM ET through the Anicorn Watches website. A word of caution: it’ll set you back $240, but it does come packaged in a stylish Death Stranding 2-themed case—a nod to what porters like Bridges and Fragile Express might receive after decades of service.

Ironically, the ring’s true purpose remains undefined, which aligns perfectly with Kojima’s enigmatic style. But we can venture some amusing theories:

• It pulls the wearer into a competitive arena, much like “Kojima Squid Games.”
• It connects you directly to a group chat featuring Kojima, Norman Reedus, and Mads Mikkelsen.
• It grants access to Kojima’s hidden Letterboxd and MyAnimeList profiles.
• It leads to a clandestine Tumblr page detailing the intricacies of the Metal Gear Solid narrative.

Ultimately, the truth behind the ring is anyone’s guess. And if a ring isn’t quite enough for you, a Death Stranding 2 watch is also up for grabs.
