Death Stranding 2 Development Updates

New Feature Allows Players To Clear Bosses Without Combat

In an exciting development, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (DS2) introduces a unique gameplay mechanic that lets players sidestep traditional boss battles. During the latest episode of the Koji Pro radio broadcast on April 14, DS2 Director Hideo Kojima unveiled this feature designed to assist players who might find boss fights challenging.

Kojima detailed that in DS2, players can choose to "continue" from the game over screen after failing a boss fight. By selecting this option, the game transitions into a visual novel-style sequence, presenting the battle's outcome through evocative images and narrative text. This approach ensures that even those who opt out of combat can still enjoy the story's progression and the context surrounding each boss encounter.

Death Stranding 2 Nears Completion at 95%

Hideo Kojima recently announced that Death Stranding 2 is approximately 95% complete. He likened the game's development stage to 10 PM on a 24-hour clock, indicating that only a couple of hours remain until the final product is ready.

The sequel is set to pick up right where the original Death Stranding left off. Last month, Kojima Productions and Sony offered insights at South by Southwest (SXSW), where they unveiled a 10-minute trailer. This trailer not only delved into DS2's storyline but also introduced new characters that have sparked significant interest among fans.

Eagle-eyed viewers of the trailer noticed a character resembling Solid Snake, alongside other new story elements and gameplay features. The event also revealed details about DS2's collector's edition and pre-order bonuses.
