A limited-time pop-up store from KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, "KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS × PARCO GAMES STRAND STORE," opens on the 9th floor of Shinsaibashi PARCO, presented by PARCO's game label PARCO GAMES.
Built around the concept of "STRAND" — meaning connection — the store carries on the DEATH STRANDING series events that PARCO GAMES and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS have held together since 2024, forming a new point of connection.
Taking as its starting point the idea explored throughout the DEATH STRANDING series by director Hideo Kojima — reconnecting people in a divided world — the store reaches beyond games to link a range of genres and cultures, extending a new "STRAND" from Shinsaibashi PARCO following the earlier Shibuya event.
Throughout the run, the store features collaborations with more than 15 brands, alongside the sale of original event merchandise and new official KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS goods, plus a lineup of events and exhibits.
