Death Stranding 2 Development Updates
New Feature Allows Players To Clear Bosses Without Combat
In an exciting development for Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (DS2), players will have the option to bypass boss battles without combat. This was revealed by Hideo Kojima, the director of DS2, during the latest episode of the Koji Pro radio broadcast on April 14. This new feature is designed to assist players who may struggle with boss encounters.
Kojima detailed that if a player opts to press "continue" on the game over screen after a failed boss fight, they can choose to advance without combat. Instead, the game will present images and text descriptions of the battle in a visual novel format, ensuring that players can still experience the narrative significance of these encounters without the challenge of combat.
Death Stranding 2 Around 95% Complete
Hideo Kojima has announced that Death Stranding 2 is now approximately 95% complete. He likened the development stage to 10 PM on a 24-hour clock, indicating that only a couple of hours remain until the game's completion.
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 that provided insights into the game's storyline and introduced new characters, sparking excitement among fans.
The trailer also hinted at a character resembling Solid Snake, alongside other new story elements and features. Additionally, the presentation revealed details about DS2’s collector’s edition and pre-order bonuses.
