Death Stranding 2 Development Updates
New Feature Allows Players To Clear Bosses Without Combat
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach introduces groundbreaking accessibility options for boss encounters. During Koji Pro's April 14 radio broadcast, Director Hideo Kojima revealed a novel progression system enabling players to bypass combat challenges.
The system activates when players fail boss encounters, offering a "continue" option that advances the story through illustrated narrative sequences similar to visual novels. This innovative approach preserves story continuity while accommodating varied playstyles.
Death Stranding Around 95% Complete
Kojima confirmed development is nearing completion at approximately 95%. He explained, "Using a 24-hour clock metaphor, if midnight represents completion, we're at about 10 PM with two hours remaining."
The sequel continues directly from the original's events. Last month's SXSW presentation revealed new story details through an extended trailer, introducing compelling characters and gameplay innovations.
The showcase included glimpses of intriguing elements like a Solid Snake-inspired character, alongside collector's edition announcements. For comprehensive pre-order and DLC details, explore our dedicated coverage.
