Summary

  • In Death Stranding 2, players will have the option to skip traditional boss fights and instead read about the characters in a novelised format.
  • This skips traditional game mechanics in favour of storytelling and will give players the chance to move onto the next section of the game more quickly.
  • Death Stranding 2’s director Hideo Kojima has not declared this a permanent game feature, but rather something that will be optional for players who want to skip a difficult fight.
  • Some developers have previously suggested skipping gameplay elements, such as BioWare’s Jennifer Hepler, but have faced criticism from gamers.
  • Kojima’s Death Stranding 2 will likely be given more leeway, especially if the bulk of the game is centred on traditional gameplay.
  • The game is set for release in the near future, with announcements expected shortly.
