In *Death Stranding 2*, players will encounter a groundbreaking new feature that allows them to bypass traditional boss battles altogether. Instead of engaging in combat, players can choose to "clear" bosses by pressing the 'continue' option on the game-over screen. This will present a visual-novel style narrative, offering players the story context without requiring them to defeat the boss physically. The idea, introduced during Koji Pro’s radio broadcast, caters to less experienced gamers while preserving the game's rich storytelling.
According to director Hideo Kojima, *Death Stranding 2* is currently around 95% complete. In his analogy, he described the project as being at "10 o'clock" in a 24-hour cycle, leaving only two hours of work remaining. Fans eagerly await its release, especially after a recent SXSW presentation showcased a 10-minute trailer revealing new characters and intriguing story elements. Among these, a Solid Snake look-alike and other narrative surprises caught everyone's attention.
The upcoming title is set to continue the storyline of the original game, promising to deliver a seamless blend of gameplay innovation and compelling narrative.
