2015's survival horror game, Dying Light, was one of the more underrated games of its generation.
Thanks to Techland's decision to continue updating the game for years after its release, it built itself quite a loyal player base. So, when they announced that they were working on a sequel, fans couldn't help but get excited. However, next came disappointment as Techland announced that they were going to delay the game indefinitely.
Since then, we haven't really heard much about Dying Light 2 nor Techland - until now.
The Polish developers took to Twitter to let fans know that they're going to share a "few words" on March 17, next Wednesday, regarding the development of the game. What's Going on With Dying Light 2? As we've already mentioned earlier, the developers promised to share some news about Dying Light 2 soon. However, whether or not this is good news or bad news was not specified, so it's best to not get your hopes up.
Dying Light 2 was first announced at E3 2018 by Chris Avellone.
Techland had approached Avellone due to his expertise in writing narrative-driven stories. They apparently aimed to make the story of Dying light 2 more reactive to player choices. However, in January 2020, even before the pandemic forced developers to delay some of their titles, Techland announced that they'd made the decision to give the game more development time.
Unfortunately, Techland didn't specify until when they'd continue development on the game. As a result, here we are, waiting for Techland to provide a clear release date for Dying Light 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRScQU_bS1s It is worth noting though that Dying Light 2 hit a couple of snags during the time between now and when the original release date was delayed. This includes The Gamer exposing the tension between the staff and the management.
