"Death Stranding 2: Bosses Bypassed Without Combat"

In the highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, players will encounter a groundbreaking feature that allows them to bypass traditional boss fights. This innovative mechanic, revealed by the game's director Hideo Kojima during a recent Koji Pro radio broadcast, enables players to clear bosses without engaging in combat. If a player fails a boss fight, they can opt to press "continue" on the game over screen. This choice will trigger a visual novel-style sequence, presenting images and text descriptions of the battle, ensuring that players can still experience the narrative depth of the encounter without the need for combat.
