"Death Stranding 2" held a trial party in Japan. The preview content will be lifted on May 8.

　　Kojima Studio recently held a media preview event for the upcoming action adventure game "Death Stranding 2" in Japan. The release date of the relevant preview content is scheduled to be on May 8, 2025.

　　Well-known Japanese game information blogger Genki_JPN revealed on Twitter that Kojima Studio recently held a media trial party for the sequel to "Death Stranding" in Japan. According to the information it shared, the media preview ban for "Death Stranding 2: The Beach" will be lifted on May 8, 2025.

　It is reported that the media and content creators at the meeting have experienced some of the content of "Death Stranding 2: The Beach" in advance. The upcoming preview reports will be based on their actual trial experience. Players who look forward to understanding this game in-depth do not need to wait too long.

In the latest episode of Kojima Radio, game director Hideo Kojima revealed that this game has added a special feature: allowing players who are not good at action games to skip the boss battle. Specifically, a special option will be added below the "Continue" option in the end game screen (maybe limited to simple mode only). After selecting this option, the system will allow players to pass the failed boss battle directly through visual novel-style graphic narratives, which can not only understand the plot of the battle, but also do not need to actually participate in the battle. Media preview coverage is expected to provide more detailed descriptions of this feature.

　　In the same radio program, Hideo Kojima also stated that the development progress of "Death Stranding 2: The Misty Beach" has reached 95%. "Death Stranding 2: The Bund" is confirmed to be available on PS5 platform on June 26, 2025 as an exclusive work.
