Death Stranding 2 Development Updates
New Feature Allows Players To Clear Bosses Without Combat
*Death Stranding 2: On The Beach* (DS2) introduces an exciting feature that allows players to progress past boss encounters without engaging in combat. In the latest episode of the Koji Pro radio broadcast on April 14, DS2 Director Hideo Kojima unveiled this player-friendly option. If you find yourself at a game over screen, you can simply press "continue" to bypass the boss fight. This choice will lead you to a visual novel-esque sequence, presenting the battle's narrative through engaging images and text. This approach ensures that players can still experience the rich storytelling of DS2, even if they choose not to fight.
Death Stranding 2 Around 95% Complete
Hideo Kojima has announced that *Death Stranding 2* is nearing completion, currently standing at 95% done. He metaphorically described the progress as "10 o'clock at night, with just two hours left until midnight." This update suggests that the release is drawing near. Following directly from the events of the first game, DS2 promises to expand its universe further. At last month's South by South West (SXSW) event, Kojima Productions and Sony shared a 10-minute trailer that not only teased the story but also introduced new characters, sparking excitement among fans.
Eagle-eyed viewers spotted a character resembling Solid Snake, along with other intriguing story elements and new gameplay features. The presentation also detailed DS2’s collector’s edition and pre-order bonuses.
