New Feature: Bypassing Boss Fights with Story Segments

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (DS2) is set to revolutionize the gaming experience with a feature designed for players who might struggle with combat. In the latest episode of Koji Pro radio broadcasts on April 14, DS2 Director Hideo Kojima unveiled a groundbreaking option that lets players bypass challenging boss encounters.

When facing defeat, players can choose to press "continue" on the game over screen. This choice will allow them to move past the boss fight without engaging in combat. Instead, the game will present a visual novel-like sequence, showcasing images and text that narrate the battle's outcome. This feature ensures that players can still experience the story's progression and understand the narrative context of each encounter, making the game more accessible to a wider audience.

Death Stranding 2 Nears Completion at 95%

Hideo Kojima recently shared that Death Stranding 2 is now 95% complete. In his words, "It’s at about 95% now… It feels like it is 10 o’clock (PM), speaking of 24 hours, Koji Pro’s DS2 is at 10 o’clock (PM), there are 2 hours left." This update suggests that the game is in its final stages of development.

Following the storyline from the original game, DS2 promises to delve deeper into its narrative. At last month's South by South West (SXSW) event, Kojima Productions and Sony provided a sneak peek into the game's world. A 10-minute trailer not only highlighted the story but also introduced new characters that have sparked excitement among fans.

The trailer also revealed a character resembling Solid Snake, along with other intriguing story elements and new gameplay features. Additionally, the presentation announced the availability of DS2's collector's edition and detailed pre-order bonuses.
