Kojima Productions announced BEYOND THE STRAND as the full program of its 10th anniversary exhibition on October 16, 2026. The announced lineup put the DEATH STRANDING prototype on public display for the first time, alongside early DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH ending proposals, a recreated red door from OD - KNOCK, and a 360-degree video installation. The run at Azabudai Hills Gallery was set from October 31 to December 20.

The exhibition opened on October 31, 2026, and the show is organized in three phases. The first traces Hideo Kojima's creative origins. The second covers the making of Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The third covers OD - KNOCK, the project still in development. Exhibits include a previously unseen early Death Stranding prototype and unreleased development materials.

Across both stories the exhibition is framed around production method: the materials on display are the development record, not only the finished work. The two accounts agree on the dates, the venue, and the prototype. The later story adds the three-phase structure and the placement of OD - KNOCK in the program.
