On May 27, Techland announced an online broadcast dedicated to the upcoming Dying Light 2, in which it will reveal new details about the title. However, in the meantime, the likely release date of the game has leaked.
The leak of information likely to have been disclosed at the time of the event comes from an Italian news service. According to him, we can expect the game on December 7 this year! You can see the photo from the source in the following Twitter post:
We should take this news with a pinch of salt, but it is possible that today it will be confirmed or denied. The mentioned broadcast from Techland was scheduled for 21:00, on the developer’s channel on Twichu. Its name itself – Dying2Know, suggests that we can expect something big.
In March, Techland admitted that we should expect Dying Light 2 to be released later this year, but exactly when exactly was not mentioned. December 7th is definitely a day too distant for some fans. Especially since the title’s premiere is initially scheduled for spring 2020. Then, due to the need to improve the game in the production phase, it was decided to postpone this event to an undefined future.
The first part of Dying Light was released in 2015 by the Polish studio Techland ( Dead Island, Call of Juarez). It combined elements of survival-horror and parkour and focused on the fate of Kyle Crane. The protagonist ended up in the city of Harran, modeled on Rio de Janeiro, whose inhabitants were infected with a mysterious virus that turns the sick into zombies.
The second installment of the game will continue this story, but will take place in a European metropolis 15 years later. Its main character will be a new character, Aiden Caldwell. Zombies will remain an important part of the game, but now the player will also have to fight against hostile people. Importantly, the decisions we make during the game will have a significant impact on the shape of the plot.
The Dying Light 2 play will be able to PC users, PlayStation 4, 5 PlayStation, Xbox One, Xbox and Xbox Series X Series S. Regardless of when the title will certainly present stream will dissipate some doubts related to the game.
