Death Stranding 2 Development Updates

New Feature Allows Players To Clear Bosses Without Combat

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach will revolutionize boss encounters with its new accessibility feature. During Koji Pro's April 14 radio broadcast, Director Hideo Kojima revealed this innovative system designed to assist players struggling with combat sequences.

The system activates upon player defeat, offering a "continue" option that bypasses combat requirements. Choosing this alternative presents the battle's narrative through stylized visual novel sequences, preserving story continuity while removing gameplay barriers.

Death Stranding 2 Approximately 95% Complete

Kojima confirmed the sequel's development has reached 95% completion, likening the remaining work to "the final two hours before midnight." This significant milestone follows last month's extensive reveal at SXSW, where Sony and Kojima Productions showcased a ten-minute trailer.

The preview introduced new narrative elements, gameplay mechanics, and mysterious characters - including a figure resembling Solid Snake that immediately captivated fans. The presentation also detailed Collector's Edition contents and pre-order incentives.
