Death Stranding 2: By the Shore

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is poised to deliver an exciting journey similar to its well-regarded forerunner. Yet, it also introduces some contentious new facets, such as the option to bypass confrontations with bosses entirely.

Countdown to June 26, 2025: The anticipated action-adventure game Death Stranding 2 from Kojima Productions is set to arrive on PlayStation 5. Following the phenomenal success of its predecessor, featuring a star-studded cast, the franchise has firmly established itself as a popular choice, generating immense excitement for the sequel’s release.

In preparation for its launch, a fresh, helpful feature has been unveiled specifically designed for individuals less accustomed to action games or those preferring non-combat play.

Death Stranding 2 has feature to remove boss fights

In a recent broadcast on Koji Pro’s radio station, game director Hideo Kojima disclosed an exciting new addition to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – a special option for players who prefer it, enabling them to bypass boss battles altogether, effectively eliminating the fight entirely.

According to Genki_JPN’s translation from the radio broadcast, in terms of boss fights, there will be an additional choice on the game over screen beneath the ‘continue’ option. This choice enables you to effortlessly defeat the boss battle without engaging in combat.

In other words, even if players don’t participate in the battle directly, they can still witness it by viewing an illustration and summary of the skirmish, much like reading about an exciting event in a book. This way, they can enjoy the experience of the fight without the danger of losing their characters or engaging in real-time combat.

This issue has sparked a lot of debate within the community, with some describing it as “modern assistance in gaming.” However, the majority of fans have expressed approval for this feature, highlighting its potential positive impact on gamers with disabilities: “This could be beneficial for gamers with disabilities who want to immerse themselves in the game’s story, or for those who find playing challenging games difficult due to their disability.

People perceived this as an indication that the battles ahead might be more challenging, with comments such as “I hope this implies the bosses will be tough on other levels” and “I hope this means they’ve ramped up the difficulty for the Dark Souls 1 boss fights, as they were already manageable.

The ultimate appearance of this feature in the completed game remains unknown, but it’s clear that it will enhance the game’s accessibility for players, although not every fan may share the same opinion.
