Dying Light 2 for the Nintendo Switch has just been delayed

Techland released a Switch port of Dying Light, Dying Light: Platinum Edition, out of the blue this past October. Many critics and audiences were surprised by the quality of the game's native Switch port, so Switch owners are understandably disappointed that Dying Light 2 isn't coming to Nintendo's portable console at launch.

The silver lining here is that Techland wants to make sure that the cloud port of Dying Light 2: Stay Human does the game justice. The mixed reception of other cloud ports by other developers might have played a significant factor in Techland's decision. If this is what happened, then Switch owners have a reason to celebrate. Techland has always done its audience right, so there's little doubt that the Switch version of Dying Light 2: Stay Human will deliver. The only question now is a matter of when, which Techland confirms will be within six months of February 4.

In other Dying Light news, Techland caught flack for claiming that Dying Light 2 would take 500+ hours to complete. The studio later confirmed that this was a figure meant for completionists who wanted to see everything that the game had to offer. Techland also drew praise for its promise to support Dying Light 2 for at least five years with post-launch content. Because Techland had already done this with the original Dying Light, fans were more than receptive to the studio's most recent promise.
