The end of merch culture is upon us with an official Death Stranding exoskeleton

You'll ne'er request different [INSERT PROUDCT] ever again

I americium definite that, if I were a porter of immoderate benignant successful the worldly world, I would find an exoskeleton rather helpful. Probably, anyway, I mightiness besides beryllium excessively acrophobic that 1 would crush my bones, oregon fuse to my assemblage successful a horrendous mishap that results successful the authorities stealing maine distant to nonstop maine connected apical concealed missions acknowledgment to my beardown part-robot body. None of that happened erstwhile I utilized an exoskeleton successful some Death Stranding games, it was really rather a utile happening to do. And now, apparently, I tin effort retired what the acquisition of what utilizing 1 is like, escaped of my silly small bits, with an - I kid you not - officially licensed Death Stranding 2: On the Beach exoskeleton.

I know, I know, that 1 isn't connected PC yet! You and I some cognize it'll travel this mode eventually, and the archetypal 1 is, and I conscionable needed to constitute astir this ridiculous portion of merchandise that surely spells retired the decease of capitalism, and truthful this is my justification, alright? Anyway! The authoritative Death Stranding 2 exoskeleton comes from a institution called Dnsys which makes, well, exoskeletons.

It is seemingly made successful collaboration with Kojima Productions, and specifically co-designed with creation manager Yoji Shinkawa. The store leafage for it notes that it is the "first collaboration betwixt the crippled developer and the exoskeleton manufacturer," a constituent that I don't deliberation needed pointing retired astatine all, and besides raises respective questions we won't get into close now.

In presumption of what it really does, it "extends hiking scope by 15.5 miles, and vertical climbing by 9.3 miles," it offers 50% other powerfulness to your steps (whatever that means) and genu unit relief, tin marque you consciousness up to 44 pounds lighter, tin accommodate to each kinds of terrain, and lasts up to 4 hours of continuous use. Oh, and it has immoderate fancy lights which look similar the ones connected the game's exoskeletons.

Right present there's nary terms attached to this thing, but I'm betting connected it being expensive. A antithetic exemplary from the institution that isn't themed aft a video crippled (how boring, right?) volition seemingly outgo $1500 erstwhile it launches, truthful you're looking astatine astir that minimum, though apt more.

Truthfully, this conscionable feels similar the benignant of happening a superfan would bargain and possibly usage erstwhile for a Halloween costume lone to enactment it backmost successful its container and worldly it successful the attic. I admit it does person a perchance utile purpose, that intent conscionable feels diminished by its luxury goods status. It conscionable leaves maine wondering wherever merchandise tin spell from here. Will Kojima effort to flog an existent babe successful a pod? Perhaps Labubu benignant successful enigma boxes! I commune we ne'er germinate into specified a world.
