Hideo Kojima has added a very useful feature to Death Stranding 2 - the ability to check the length of cutscenes with the click of a button. It's a small thing, but it can be quite useful.

Here's What We Know

In the preview of Death Stranding 2, it was revealed that you can check the length of a cutscene by pressing the option button on the gamepad. Although it doesn't sound grandiose, this feature will be useful if you want to know how long a scene will last.

On Reddit, players are already writing that if they need to get up, make popcorn and quickly go to the bathroom, they will know how much time they have until the gameplay starts again.

It was even revealed that DS2 will have the ability to pause cutscenes. There is also a system that will allow players to pause the game during cutscenes to clarify any terms or character history.

If a player sees a technical term that they don't understand, they can pause the game in the middle of a cutscene and look it up.

So now we are looking forward to 26 June to dive into the mysterious world of Death Stranding 2.
