A media event for Death Stranding 2 was recently held in Japan, and the preview embargo is expected to be lifted on May 8, 2025.
Hideo Kojima has revealed a new feature in Death Stranding 2, promising a more accessible experience for newcomers to action games.
ehm okeeey.
i guess i get it, but shouldn't be a difficulty setting be the solution and not a skip feature?
Love the first game but the boss battles were crap, especially the Cliff ones. All Cliff encounters are exactly the same, only in different environments. Furthermore, you have to do the same thing 4 times! No different forms, no different patterns, nothing.
I mean that's a nice thought and all but if you are going to get the sequel to this I'm guessing you are going to be one of those fans who managed to do the boss battles in the original.
I don't think this is going to bring in new fans or ones who didn't like the first one in general.
I understand if it was a brand new story with new characters where you get a clean fresh slate to try and bring in everyone again but a straight up sequel...it has it's fans and I bet they managed to get through the first game no problem.
A weird idea for a sequel to have, since players need to beat the bosses of the first game, unless he plans on making the bosses more complicated this time around which I highly doubt. Honestly it's a horrible feature, for a game about the struggle of going around to deliver things, to let you skip fighting which is a part of the struggle.
Death Stranding 2's Collector's Edition comes with a variety of contents, including a statue, a figurine, art cards, and plenty of in-game items.
I can’t wait to play this! Just finished my 3rd play through of DS just to get ready for it. That Magellan Man Statue gonna look real sweet on my table!
Death Stranding 2 revisits key biomes with expanded scale, visual variety, and new hazards that give each environment a more distinct identity.
'One of the most iconic biomes in Death Stranding, tar-flooded swamps, is making a return in Death Stranding 2'.
Tar flooded areas weren't iconic at all as if you have any sense you avoid tar altogether.
The tar was the worst part of the game besides the shooting mechanics. All in all I love the game though. I'm hyped!
Yeah, it's flawed but I've put 350 hours into both versions combined.
The BT fights where you get dragged through the tar into scripted areas are just dumb and a waste of time. You can just walk out of the tar to safety, and nine times out of ten the BTs do nothing to stop you!
I got around 150 hrs. love the game. I feel you on the BT fight thing. I roll my eyes every time it happens.
Hyped!
