In the eagerly awaited sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, players will encounter a groundbreaking feature that allows them to clear bosses without engaging in combat. This innovative approach, unveiled by DS2 Director Hideo Kojima during a recent Koji Pro radio broadcast, is designed to cater to players of all skill levels, especially those less experienced in boss battles.
In Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, if players find themselves stuck at a boss fight, they can now opt to press "continue" on the game over screen. This choice will bypass the combat, instead presenting players with visual novel-style images and text that describe the battle's narrative context. This unique mechanic ensures that everyone can enjoy the game's story without the pressure of mastering every fight.
Hideo Kojima has shared an exciting update on the game's progress, stating that Death Stranding 2 is now 95% complete. He likened the development stage to 10 PM, suggesting that only two hours remain until the metaphorical midnight of the game's completion. Following directly from the events of the first game, DS2 is shaping up to be a thrilling continuation of the story.
At the recent South by South West (SXSW) event, Kojima Productions and Sony provided fans with a glimpse into what to expect. A 10-minute trailer showcased the game's narrative, introduced intriguing new characters, and even hinted at a Solid Snake look-alike, sparking fan speculation and excitement. The presentation also revealed details about the collector's edition and pre-order bonuses for Death Stranding 2.
