Recently released hands-on previews of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach have finally revealed more about the game’s plot, gameplay, and world. These previews primarily focused on the gameplay and world aspects of Death Stranding 2, but that was more than sufficient to give fans a more thorough understanding of the game’s features. In Death Stranding 2, players begin in Mexico and eventually travel to Australia, where they will spend the majority of their time, based on the previews.
According to previews, Australia is already the main character in Death Stranding 2, which is comparable to Todd Howard’s strategy with Fallout’s Wasteland. Through the many environmental dangers players must avoid or the aerial camera that gives them a wide-angle view of the surroundings, Australia is unquestionably one of the most important elements of Death Stranding 2, perhaps even more so than the open world was in the first game. Naturally, this is to be expected given that, like in the original Death Stranding game, open-world traversal is a crucial component of the gameplay.
Australia Is Much More Than Just a Scene in Death Stranding 2
Players would have to navigate an open world in Death Stranding 2 that was even more full of environmental hazards than the first game, as was long known. This means that although players will probably spend a lot of time fighting real enemies, they might also spend a lot of time fending off the open world’s inherent dangers. Recent trailers indicate that Sam and the environment around him react realistically to the environmental dangers in Death Stranding 2.
Australia is already the main character in Death Stranding 2, according to previews, which is similar to Todd Howard’s approach with Fallout’s Wasteland.
For instance, when it rains, rivers can double in width, so players will have to put in a lot of effort to keep Sam and his cargo dry. Furthermore, sandstorms reduce visibility, earthquakes can make Sam lose his footing, and there is even a day/night cycle that has an immediate impact on gameplay. Fortunately, by raising Sam’s proficiency in specific areas, players can enhance his traversal abilities. Sam will be better able to navigate rough terrain in the future, for example, if he does it more frequently. All of these factors, however, continue to indicate that Australia is at the forefront of the action in Death Stranding 2.
The Aerial Camera Puts the Spotlight on Australia
Fans should use Australia’s new aerial camera feature as the last piece of proof that the country was taking center stage in Death Stranding 2, if the additional environmental dangers weren’t enough. With the help of Death Stranding 2’s aerial camera, players can zoom far out to see the expansive open world and any possible dangers Sam Porter Bridges might encounter. This is basically a bird’s-eye perspective of Sam and the surroundings, emphasizing the open world and giving Australia a more central role.
Australia is emerging as the true star of Death Stranding 2, despite the fact that the story is primarily about Sam, Fragile, and the mysteries of the Beach. It is a world that should be studied, respected, and conquered because of its ever-changing terrain, severe weather, and the tools made to traverse it. In Death Stranding 2, Australia is much more than just a location; it actively challenges players at every turn with features like the aerial camera that highlight its size and complexity.
