Now Happening at Shibuya PARCO! 'KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS × PARCO GAMES STRAND STORE' Unveils New Products Releasing in July and Special Venue Exhibition by Entei Ryu!

PARCO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter PARCO) and its game label PARCO GAMES are holding a limited-time POPUP store, 'KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS × PARCO GAMES STRAND STORE,' on the 5th floor of Shibuya PARCO.

This release announces the latest information, including new products scheduled for release from July onwards and special venue events, as well as details on the tour stops in Shinsaibashi and Nagoya.

With the concept of 'STRAND' (= connection), this store is a new connection point born from the continuation of the 'DEATH STRANDING' series events that PARCO GAMES and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS have been developing since 2024.

Starting from the 'STRAND' philosophy of 'reconnecting people in a divided world' depicted by Director Hideo Kojima through the 'DEATH STRANDING' series, we will transmit new 'STRANDs' that connect various genres and cultures beyond the boundaries of games from Shibuya PARCO.
