Death Stranding 2 Development Updates
New Feature Allows Players To Clear Bosses Without Combat
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach introduces a groundbreaking accessibility option for boss encounters. During an April 14th episode of Koji Pro radio broadcasts, Director Hideo Kojima revealed this alternative solution designed to assist less combat-inclined players.
Kojima detailed that when players face defeat in boss battles, they'll have the option to "continue" rather than retry. Selecting this alternative presents key story moments through illustrated sequences with text narration, effectively conveying the narrative impact while bypassing combat requirements.
Death Stranding 2 Nears Completion
Kojima shared that DS2 currently stands at 95% completion. Using a 24-hour clock analogy, he remarked: "It's about 95% now... If we consider full development as a day, we're at 10 PM with just two hours remaining."
The sequel directly continues the original game's narrative. Last month's South by Southwest (SXSW) presentation by Kojima Productions and Sony featured a 10-minute trailer revealing new story elements and characters, generating significant fan excitement.
The trailer notably included a character resembling Solid Snake, along with glimpses of fresh gameplay mechanics. The event also unveiled collector's edition details and pre-order bonuses.
