"Dnsys claimed this was the first collaboration between an exoskeleton maker and a game studio. Kojima Productions art director Yoji Shinkawa worked with the company on the design, which draws from the color palettes of the game and is based on an existing Dnsys model. It has lights similar to the exoskeleton Sam wears in the game, and they indicate the battery level."
"The Dnsys Z1 Exoskeleton Pro - Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Limited Edition (to give its full name) is said to mimic the game's load-balancing system by offloading up to 200 percent of the wearer's body weight from their knees to help protect the joints. Dnsys said it adds 50 percent more power to steps and "intelligent gait control" to improve balance on stairs and uneven terrain."
"Exoskeletons can be very useful, particularly for those who could do with extra support and/or have mobility issues. Or maybe you want to look the part while you carry some very heavy cargo on your back and listen to Chvrches and Bring Me the Horizon. This limited-edition exoskeleton will be available on December 2. Pricing will be announced then. The regular price of a dual-leg Dnsys Z1 system is $1,500, so you can probably expect the Death Stranding 2 variant to be in that ballpark."
Kojima Productions teamed with exoskeleton maker Dnsys to produce a Death Stranding 2: On The Beach limited-edition Dnsys Z1 Exoskeleton Pro. Yoji Shinkawa helped design a unit that uses the game's color palette, includes lights that indicate battery level, and builds on an existing Dnsys model. The system offloads up to 200 percent of the wearer's body weight from the knees, adds 50 percent more power to steps, and includes intelligent gait control to improve balance on stairs and uneven terrain. It promises feeling up to 44 pounds lighter during vertical movement, over four hours of continuous support, and a quick-swap battery. Availability begins December 2 and pricing will be announced; the regular dual-leg model lists at $1,500.
