We’re not still quite sure what Death Stranding is, and each new trailer only leaves us with more questions. Nonetheless, Hideo Kojima’s latest bizarre creation — which was birthed from a now-canceled horror game tentatively titled Silent Hills — is shaping up to be one of the most unique and fascinating game releases of 2019. Death Stranding is releasing next month, and if, like many, it’s going to be a first-day buy for you, then now’s your chance to score this Limited Edition PlayStation 4 Pro bundle which just became available for pre-order.

The development history behind Death Stranding is almost as interesting as the game itself. It’s the first creation of Kojima Productions, the new studio founded by Kojima, the iconic Japanese developer, in the wake of his falling out with Konami. Before Kojima’s abrupt departure from his former employer, his latest project was a horror game titled Silent Hills which was being co-developed with input from film director Guillermo del Toro.

Silent Hills was also notable for starring actor Norman Reedus, who remained with the project after Kojima founded his own studio. The game then took on a different life of its own as Death Stranding with Kojima now enjoying full creative control. There’s still a lot we don’t know about Death Stranding, but what we do know is that it is built on the powerful Fox Engine (that made its debut with Metal Gear Solid V) and is an action-adventure game with stealth elements set in a bleak post-apocalyptic open-world setting. Other actors, including Mads Mikkelsen and Lea Seydoux, among others, will also play major roles in the story.

Along with a copy of the game, this Death Stranding pre-order bundle includes a striking white Limited Edition 1TB PlayStation 4 Pro (which is still our favorite gaming console as of 2019 owing to its 4K capabilities and the PS4’s unparalleled library). The included DualShock 4 controller looks great, too, with its unique translucent gold color. This looks to be inspired by the strange capsule containing a baby that Reedus’ character Sam carries with him throughout the game.

The Death Stranding PlayStation 4 Pro bundle was just made available for pre-order, and it’s currently available from Amazon , GameStop , and Best Buy . The package costs $400 — about the same price you’d pay for a new standard PS4 Pro by itself — and includes the Limited Edition Death Stranding-themed PlayStation 4 console, translucent gold DualShock 4 controller, and a physical Blu-ray copy of the game. Your pre-order bundle will ship when Death Stranding is released on November 8.

Playstation 4 Controller

The PlayStation 5 has finally arrived, but the PlayStation 4 will stay relevant for years to come because of its expansive library of games. If you're planning to finally buy the console on the Prime Day 2021 date, which is set on June 21 and June 22, you should look forward to the discounts that will be offered in next week's Prime Day deals. You'll enjoy significant savings on the console, as well as on its games and accessories, with this year's Prime Day PS4 deals. On the other hand, if you're already a PS4 owner, the upcoming Prime Day PS4 sales will be your chance to pick up games that you may have missed when they were first released, and accessories to add to your arsenal.
What Prime Day PS4 Deals To Expect
Some gamers are already upgrading from the PlayStation 4 to the PlayStation 5, but that doesn't mean the PS4 is a dying console. Developers will continue to roll out games for the 7-year-old system, so it's still a good idea to take advantage of Prime Day PS4 deals if you don't own the console yet. There will likely be bundles for the PS4 that includes games and accessories, as Amazon will look to unload its stocks of the console. Meanwhile, for current PS4 owners, Prime Day will be a great opportunity to expand your gaming collection and to buy accessories such as extra controllers.
What Prime Day PS4 Deals We Saw Last Year
Last year's Prime Day happened before the launch of the PlayStation 5, so gamers were looking forward to the new system. Amazon still offered Prime Day PS4 sales though, despite the hype surrounding the PS5, as there was still high demand due to 2020's PS4 exclusives like The Last of Us Part II, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Ghost of Tsushima.
Should You Buy New a PS4 on Prime Day?
The PlayStation 5 is here, but the PlayStation 4 still offers years of gaming with its massive stable of games. You're missing out if you haven't played the best PS4 exclusives, so its still highly recommended to buy a new PS4 on Prime Day. It's also smart to take advantage of the discounts to buy games and accessories for the console, to get yourself set for months, or even years, of PS4 gaming.
The Best PS4 Deals Happening Now
With Prime Day happening next week, the discounts that you can enjoy from the annual shopping event will be worth the wait. However, if you have the budget to purchase the PlayStation 4 right now and you're already looking forward to all the games that you can play on the console, then you should check out the best PlayStation deals that are currently available.

Death Stranding is described by Kojima as a "strand game," an original genre that is used to describe the social elements of the game. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, players control Sam Bridges, who works to connect society through a variety of delivery missions, in the hope of bringing people together. Interspersed with this narrative are combat encounters, stealth elements, and world building to make the deliveries as smooth as possible. It's truly a unique title and the PC version of Death Stranding manages to elevate the game even further with more technical prowess packed in.
