"Death Stranding 2: Bosses Can Be Bypassed"

In the highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2, players can now clear bosses without engaging in combat, offering an alternative way to experience the game's story. This article delves into this innovative feature and provides an update on the game's development progress.

Death Stranding 2 Development Updates

New Feature Allows Players To Clear Bosses Without Combat

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (DS2) introduces a groundbreaking feature that caters to players of all skill levels. During the April 14 episode of Koji Pro's radio broadcasts, DS2 Director Hideo Kojima unveiled that players can bypass traditional boss fights. If a player chooses to press "continue" on the game over screen after failing a boss fight, they can opt to move forward without combat. Instead, the game will present the battle's narrative through visual novel-style images and text descriptions, ensuring players don't miss out on crucial story elements.

Death Stranding 2 Around 95% Complete

Hideo Kojima has confirmed that DS2 is now 95% complete, indicating the project is nearing its final stages. He likened the game's progress to 10 PM on a 24-hour clock, suggesting there are roughly two hours—or stages—of development left. Following the events of the original game, DS2 promises to expand on its universe. At the South by Southwest (SXSW) event last month, Kojima Productions and Sony showcased a 10-minute trailer that highlighted the sequel's storyline and introduced new characters, sparking excitement among fans.

The trailer featured a character resembling Solid Snake, along with other new story snippets and gameplay features. Additionally, the presentation revealed details about DS2's collector's edition and pre-order bonuses.
