Hololive Production Official Shop Unveils Unique Packaging
Cover has announced an exciting new initiative for the Hololive Production Official Shop. The online store will now utilize packing tape inspired by the acclaimed game, Death Stranding 2. This creative decision is tied to the appearance of Hololive Japan Vtuber, Usada Pekora, who plays a prepper character in the game. While the store services a global audience, including the US and Canada, the exclusive promotional tape has only been confirmed by the Japanese social media account. Consequently, it remains unclear whether international orders will receive this unique tape design.
A Look at the Death Stranding Style Packaging
The distinctive packaging features the iconic yellow “void if tampered” Damage Sensor Tape, a staple from both Death Stranding titles. This tape changes color as a damage indicator, enhancing the interactive experience associated with the game. Each package from the Hololive Production Official Shop includes a playful nod to the game with the quote: “Benchmarker: The sensor is always active & will instantly develop color if damage is received. Match the tape’s color with the reference chart to estimate damage. To extend the service life keep cold when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and sunlight.”

Collaboration with Hideo Kojima
Although the presence of Usada Pekora in Death Stranding 2 was a well-kept secret until closer to the game’s launch, several teasers hinted at her inclusion well beforehand. Hideo Kojima, the renowned creator of the series, has openly expressed his admiration for Pekora through social media interactions. The Vtuber even had the opportunity to visit Kojima Productions, establishing a connection between the two worlds.

For fans eager to experience the game, early access for Death Stranding 2 begins on June 24, 2025, at 12 AM ET for those who purchase the Deluxe or Collector’s Edition. Additionally, all players will be able to access the game on PS5 starting June 26, 2025.
