Death Stranding 2 Development Updates

New Feature Allows Players To 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 in navigating boss encounters. This feature lets players opt out of combat by selecting "continue" on the game over screen after a failed boss fight. Upon choosing this option, DS2 will present players with visual novel-style images and text descriptions of the battle. This allows players to continue the game's story without the need for combat, ensuring everyone can enjoy the narrative depth of DS2.

Death Stranding 2 Around 95% Complete

Hideo Kojima recently shared that Death Stranding 2 is now 95% complete. He likened the game's progress to being at "10 o’clock (PM)" in a 24-hour cycle, indicating that only about two hours of work remain. DS2 is set to continue the narrative from the original game, and last month's South by South West (SXSW) event provided fans with a glimpse into what to expect. A 10-minute trailer showcased new characters and story elements, including a character resembling Solid Snake, which has sparked significant interest among fans.

The SXSW panel also revealed details about DS2's collector's edition and pre-order bonuses. For those eager to learn more about what comes with the pre-order and any additional downloadable content (DLC), you can find more information in our dedicated article below.
