"Death Stranding 2" media preview 5.8 unblocked, adding new function of skipping boss battles
Kojima Studio recently held a media preview event for the highly anticipated action-adventure game "Death Stranding 2" in Japan, and the lifting time for the relevant preview content has been officially confirmed to be May 8, 2025.
Well-known Japanese game information blogger Genki_JPN revealed on Twitter that Kojima Studio recently prepared a media trial for the sequel to "Death Stranding". According to the information he shared, the media preview ban on "Death Stranding 2: The Bundesliga" will be fully lifted on May 8, 2025.
It is understood that the media and content creators participating in this event have taken the lead in experiencing some of the exciting content of "Death Stranding 2: The Bund". The upcoming preview report will be based on their personal experience, which undoubtedly makes players looking forward to an in-depth understanding of the game very excited, without having to wait for a long time.
In the latest episode of Kojima Radio, game director Hideo Kojima personally revealed that this game has added a thoughtful feature: allowing players who are not good at action games to skip boss battles. Specifically, a special option will be added below the Continue option in the end game screen (maybe limited to Simple Mode only). Once the player selects this option, the system will use visual novel-style graphic narrative to allow the player to directly pass the boss battles that might have failed. In this way, players can not only clearly understand the plot of the battle, but also do not need to participate in the fierce battle in person. Media preview reports are expected to provide a more detailed description of this feature.
In the same radio program, Hideo Kojima was also excited to announce that the development progress of "Death Stranding 2: The Misty Beach" has reached 95%. At the same time, he also officially confirmed the release date of the game, that is, "Death Stranding 2: The Beach" will be launched on the PS5 platform on June 26, 2025, and will meet with players as an exclusive work.
