Dying Light 2 has been highly anticipated since it’s reveal at 2018’s E3, and although it hasn’t received major news updates in a while, there’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to the series’ latest installment.
Like the first game, which saw players combine parkour and zombie brutality over the rooftops of Harran, we can expect to see more of the same in the sequel.
Here’s everything we know about Dying Light 2 :
Release date
Dying Light 2 was initially set to be released during the spring of this year. However, the game was delayed indefinitely in January, before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold.
Dying Light 2 will be released on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Microsoft Windows.
It’s safe to assume that the game development is in it’s final stages at this point, so a 2021 release isn’t too far fetched.

Gameplay
Dying Light 2 is expanding upon what made the original game interesting by increasing the size of its world, the freedom of its parkour and making sure every choice the player makes somehow impacts the environment around them. According to an interview with Tymon Smektala, Lead Game Designer of Dying Light 2, the game will take about “15 to 20 hours for the main story,” where as everything else within the world could take “more than 100 hours” of playtime to complete.
Story
In Dying Light 2, players will follow Aiden Caldwell, an infected survivor who uses his exceptional combat abilities to survive in a post apocalyptic world. Narrative Director Chris Avellone claims that the game will feature a “functioning ecosystem that reacts on multiple levels to the things you do and the choices you make.” Techland intends to allow you to “carve out your own world,”.
