“The well of ideas is infinite” – Techland on Dying Light 2 DLC expectations and next game hints

June 1, 2022VG247

Dying Light had a fast but perilous climb to the top – so it’s a good thing it’s excellent at parkour. The first game was a sleeper success, launching in a quiet January in 2015 where more people were inclined to take a chance on its sometimes unrefined – but ultimately compelling – open-world leaping, ragdoll zombie-squishing formula. Dying Light 2 launched well, and has only gotten stronger since. But where the original was spritely and free, skipping right to the forefront gaming’s big franchises while major publishers were looking the other way, Dying Light 2: Stay Human was being…

June 1, 2022VG247

Dying Light 2 lead designer, Tymon Smektala, hints at where Techland’s undead action game may be heading over the next five years.

And that was just in its first month! The series as a whole clearly has appeal, too, surpassing 20 million sales in its lifetime. Dying Light, it’s fair to say, is a franchise that’s here to stay. You know where you are? You’re in the (urban) jungle, baby. You’re gonna die. Part…

Game length does matter, but it’s right to be skeptical about grand boasts

The game’s social account put out a statement that the zombie survival parkour open-world sequel would take 500 hours (about 3 weeks) to complete. Boom. That is an outrage. There has now long been a…
