We've had preview builds of Dying Light 2 for a few weeks now, a few of us have put 8-10 hours into the game already. But we weren't able to play co-op until the day before release so a proper review couldn't be ready for the launch. That said we've now dug in and come back with some impressions and a stream recap.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human is about three weeks away from its release date, and Techland has been releasing a steady stream of information about the game. Most recently we learned that there are 500 hours worth of content. Umm, yay? But we've also learned today a bit about the game's four player online co-op mode thanks to Dying to Know Episode 6.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human, the sequel to the open world co-op survival action game, releases December 7, 2021 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Many were wondering if the game was still going to see the..uhm...light of day after staying dark for so long. But developer Techland has put out a ton of new content showcasing what players can expect at the end of the year.
Techland, developer of the original Dead Island and the well-received 2015 zombie-smashing/parkour hybrid Dying Light, took to the web recently to announce that Dying Light’s sequel, Dying Light 2, has had its release date pushed back from ”Spring 2020” window. Unfortunately that was the extent of the information provided, as the developer only went on to say that more information will be announced “in the coming months.” Would-be zombie killers will have to sit patiently and await further word on why the delay took place and when the game will see the light of day.
In a new interview about the sequel to the zombie-smashing hit Dying Light, Dying Light 2, Techland's Chief Technology Officer Pawel Rohleder nonchalantly informed the world that the upcoming game will feature a map four times the size of the original’s. Fans of the first game will recall that its map was separated into two districts, so this news is nothing but exciting as we look forward to (re)killing the undead when Dying Light 2 is released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC sometime in 2020.
Just like the inevitable heat death of the universe, Dying Light 2's release is getting closer by the day. We've still got some way to go, as the game isn't due out until Spring 2020, but already I can feel its parkour-combat seeping into my mind. On the way home from work, I found myself gazing up at a nearby gap between buildings, wondering if it was short enough to jump.
