Dive in to explore this feature and get the latest updates on the game's development progress.
Death Stranding 2 Development Updates
New Feature: Clear Bosses Without Combat
In the latest episode of Koji Pro radio broadcasts on April 14, Hideo Kojima, the director of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (DS2), unveiled a groundbreaking feature designed to assist players, especially those new to gaming. This feature allows players to bypass boss fights by selecting "continue" on the game over screen. Instead of combat, players will be treated to a series of images and text descriptions that narrate the battle, much like a visual novel. This innovative approach ensures that players can still experience the story's key moments without the pressure of combat.
Death Stranding 2 Nears Completion at 95%
Hideo Kojima shared that Death Stranding 2 is now 95% complete, likening its development stage to 10 PM on a 24-hour clock, with just two hours left until completion. As the sequel to the critically acclaimed original, DS2 is set to continue directly from where the first game left off. At last month's South by South West (SXSW) event, Kojima Productions and Sony unveiled a 10-minute trailer, giving fans a glimpse into DS2's narrative and introducing new characters that have sparked excitement and speculation.
The trailer also hinted at a character resembling Solid Snake, along with other new story elements and features. Additionally, the presentation detailed the game's collector's edition and pre-order bonuses.
