Death Stranding fans have a new 2027 release to track, but it is a premium collectible rather than another game. Prime 1 Studio has opened pre-orders through Sideshow for a 1/3-scale Higgs Monaghan statue from Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The Deluxe Bonus edition costs $2,655, is limited to 299 units worldwide, and is currently expected to ship between November 2027 and April 2028. That estimate may extend as far as October 2028, so collectors should treat the window as tentative.
What changed with the new Death Stranding release?
The newly confirmed release is Prime 1 Studio's high-end Higgs statue, not a new playable Death Stranding title. It portrays the antagonist in his Death Stranding 2 appearance and stands 31.8 inches tall on a themed display base. The head sculpt was developed from a study of actor Troy Baker's facial features, while additional swappable heads include versions with Higgs' Red Mask.
The Deluxe Bonus edition also includes interchangeable arms, Battle Guitars, and intestines. LED lighting appears in multiple areas, including the Odradek, Battle Guitar, and Higgs' abdomen. Orders are limited to one statue per person, adding another restriction for interested buyers.
Which version should collectors consider?
Prime 1 Studio is offering three versions at different price points. The $1,705 Standard edition includes the basic statue and display stand. The $2,005 Deluxe Edition adds swappable body parts, including an additional Red Mask head sculpt. At $2,655, the Deluxe Bonus version is the most expensive option and includes the broadest set of listed interchangeable accessories and illuminated details.
None of the options are inexpensive, but the lower-priced editions give collectors a way to buy the central statue without paying for every accessory. Buyers should also remember that the listed delivery period is an estimate rather than a guaranteed arrival date.
What comes next for Death Stranding fans?
Pre-orders are available now through Sideshow, with the limited production run making the Deluxe Bonus version the key option for collectors who want the most exclusive configuration. The statue follows a relatively quiet stretch for new franchise releases: the original game launched before Death Stranding 2: On the Beach arrived six years later, while a Death Stranding movie adaptation remains in development.
For players waiting for another game, this announcement does not provide new gameplay or a software release date. For fans of the series' character designs and premium merchandise, however, it offers a substantial display piece with a long lead time and a price that requires careful consideration.

Expert View
The Deluxe Bonus statue is clearly aimed at dedicated collectors rather than ordinary players. Its scale, lighting, interchangeable parts, and limited run explain the premium, but $2,655 remains a significant commitment before shipping is even estimated. The Standard edition is the more sensible route for fans who mainly want a Higgs display piece, while anyone seeking new gameplay should wait for separate news about the franchise rather than treating this collectible as a game announcement.
