Death Stranding 2 Implementing Surprising Feature To Help New Players

by

Summary

  • Story-focused players can skip boss fights in Death Stranding 2 for a narrative-driven experience.
  • Hideo Kojima aims to offer an extra option to clear boss battles without fighting, enhancing accessibility.
  • Kojima’s Death Stranding 2 features an inclusive approach allowing players of all skill levels to enjoy the game.

Judging by its appearance, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach seems to be yet another masterpiece from Hideo Kojima at its core. Players can anticipate a captivating storyline, intricate characters, and all the hallmarks of a game developed by Kojima. But don’t let that fool you; even as he sticks to his roots, Kojima is known for introducing fresh elements in his creations.

As a dedicated story enthusiast, I’m thrilled about Death Stranding 2, knowing that Hideo Kojima is crafting an experience tailored to those of us who prioritize narrative over gameplay mechanics. He’s ensuring that even when we encounter challenges we can’t overcome right away, the storyline won’t become a source of frustration for us. This thoughtful design choice promises an immersive journey that keeps me engaged from start to finish.

Death Stranding 2 Will Provide Story Details To Players Who Don’t Want To Engage In Boss Fights

Instead of having a standard “easy” mode for games, Kojima is going a step beyond by allowing players the option to completely bypass boss battles altogether.

During the latest TBS podcast (through Genki), Hideo Kojima disclosed an intriguing feature for the game. In case a player loses a boss battle while playing on Easy mode, there’ll be an additional option on the game over screen next to “continue.” This option will allow players to skip the actual fight and enjoy visuals and written accounts of the battle instead, creating a more literary experience.

In Death Stranding 1, the boss battles weren’t particularly challenging initially. This new feature aims to make it even easier for players who wish to immerse themselves in the game’s narrative. For those who prefer the standard gaming experience, they can carry on as usual. As for whether trophies will be impacted by skipping bosses, it’s not clear yet, but it seems likely.

Although some gamers might think it caters more towards casual players, I don’t find anything problematic about it. Essentially, this approach allows less-skilled players or those who require assistance to enjoy the game without needing external help such as guides or having someone else play the boss fights on their behalf.

As we draw nearer to the launch date for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (scheduled for June 26), keep an eye out for additional details about the game in the upcoming weeks and months.

In a new twist, the upcoming action-adventure game serves as a follow-up to the 2019 release, featuring Norman Reedus (known for his role in The Walking Dead) reprising his character, Sam Porter. For this installment, Reedus will be accompanied by Elle Fanning, who plays Tomorrow, Shioli Kutsuna (from Deadpool & Wolverine), as Rainy, and Luca Marinelli (Mufasa: The Lion King) as Neil.

Anticipate that Death Stranding 2 will initially be a PlayStation 5-exclusive title. However, keep in mind that there’s a possibility of its release on PC and Xbox platforms at some point down the line, similar to how the original game was handled.
