To celebrate 16 million active users on DEATH STRANDING, we will launch a special Photo Mode campaign that will run for a year (December 2023 to November 2024). 

Each month, entries will be accepted according to the theme of each month, and the 20 best photos will be selected. Out of those selected 20, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS staff will vote for one “Photo of the Month” winner.  

The 12 photos of the monthly winners will be used as the cover for each month on the 2025 KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS calendar. This calendar will be sent to the Photo of the Month winners as a prize.
