Dying Light 2
It's been 20 years since the events of the original game. The virus won, and humanity is slowly dying. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a wandering Pilgrim who delivers goods, brings news, and connects the few remaining survivor settlements in barren lands devastated by the zombie virus. However, your true goal is to find your little sister Mia, who you left behind as a kid to escape Dr. Waltz's torturous experiments. Haunted by the past, you eventually make the decision to confront it when you learn that Mia may still be alive in Villedor — the last city standing on Earth.

You quickly find yourself in a settlement torn by conflict. You'll need to engage in creative and gory combat, so hone your skills to defeat hordes of zombies and make allies. Roam the city, free run across Villedor's buildings and rooftops in search of loot in remote areas, and be wary of the night. With every sunset, monsters take control of the streets.

A WORLD AFTER THE APOCALYPSE
Fifteen years ago, humanity was devastated by the Fall — a catastrophic event that would change the world forever. With the Harran virus spreading around the globe, people quickly found out that all hope for tomorrow is lost. By 2036, only a few settlements remain, and humanity is slowly dying, making way for the new species out there — a horde of relentless zombies.

DAY'S FOR THE LIVING, NIGHT'S FOR THE INFECTED
Welcome to Villedor, one of the last bastions of humanity. During the day, survivors still try to have a life here and find a false sense of normalcy. Relationships are formed, dreams are dreamed, and life carries on. On the surface, everything seems… fine. Until sunset, that is. With the last ray of light dying out, other, more dreadful, dwellers of The City crawl out of their gloomy interiors, taking over the streets. If you are not vigilant and stay out too long in the dark, you may never return.

YOU HAVE TO MOVE TO SURVIVE
Not all fights can be won. Sometimes it's best to run and, thankfully, you have the skills for it. Parkour lets you escape when odds are not in your favour. Jump from rooftop to rooftop, swing across the cityscape, ride ziplines, and much more. Whatever you do, experience a unique sense of freedom as you freerun across Villedor's buildings and rooftops in search of loot or while running away from the dangers of the night.

GET BRUTAL AND BE CREATIVE ABOUT IT
In a world as dangerous as this one, only the strongest survive. Whether you prefer to smash, slice or dismember those who stand in your way, you have to be creative about it to make it through. And who says you need weapons? Utilize the entirety of your parkour moveset to get the jump on your enemies. Learn the ways of combat and parkour to feel the crunch of skulls and slices of flesh as you swing weapons or use your moves to fend off any forms of danger. And let's not forget that Villedor has weapons that put the most advanced post-apocalyptic armouries to shame.

FOUR PILGRIMS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
Surviving in Villedor is easier with friends. Team up with up to 3 other players and increase your chances out there. Unravel the story together, take on Pilgrim Outpost challenges, or simply wreak havoc on the city streets.

The post provides detailed information about Dying Light 2, including gameplay elements and the release date. However, it could benefit from a more organized structure for enhanced clarity.

During today's Dying Light 2: Stay Human stream, Techland announced a December release for the game and provided a new look at gameplay.

Coming December 7, along with the release date, the team at Techland discussed some of the gameplay elements you can expect in Dying Light 2: Stay Human.




For one thing, choices and consequences will play a large part in how things play out.

Players will make decisions based on layers, through story missions which can change how the game ends, and choices made during quests can influence the missions.

Based on choices you make that shape the game will ensure you have a different gameplay experience the next time you decide to fire it up.

During the night, the infected come out in droves. And compared to the first game, the night in this entry is even more dangerous. But, while the infected are roaming the streets, you are able to explore the buildings they hang out in during the day to search or scavage.

There are also factions to either contend or work with.

Rooftops are now the default ground floor, as the streets are really dangerous what with the infected and unfriendly humans. But you can move everywhere you want in order to avoid danger, thanks to your parkour skills. Plus, the team at Techland doubled the number of parkour moves, so there are plenty of ways to run around walls and rooftops.

Techland said it will be revealing more about the game in more streams leading up to release, so until then, watch the video for some more information.

You can pre-order the game now through the official website.

There are three retail editions available: Standard, Deluxe, and Collector's, and three digital editions: Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate.

I love everything about that so far, except..."Stay Human". I hope it's similar to Dying Light insofar as you get these moments during story specific parts. If they go the Dead Rising 2 route of having to find and take meds, it could ruin it. I'm optimistic though, the first one was so good, I have faith.

During today's Xbox stream, Techland showed off more Dying Light 2 gameplay – and highlighted some of the revamped parkour we're getting in the game when it launches.

As per the developers, there are 1000s of animations in the game – twice as many as were in the original. This seems to have inspired the game design quite a lot, too, given the level of Mirror's Edge-like vertical levels we can see in the gameplay footage.

Take a look at the trailer below.




The game, which is set 20 years after the events of the original, will see players explore the city of Villedor, one of the first few places where the infection started.

"Walls surrounding the city were supposed to lock the danger inside, now, they protect from what's out there," says a blurb.

The trailer also introduced some of the new tools you'll be able to use as you navigate the city, including a fancy new paraglider, that works well with all that dashing and climbing – what goes up must come down, after all.

As promised earlier in the week, the "Gamescom edition" of the special in-depth deep dive into the game's parkour, combat, and faction systems showed off just what we can expect when the title (finally) launches later this year.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human has now been pushed back to February 4th, 2022, as confirmed by the latest developer update. The team will still share some "exciting news" about the game later in September.

According to the development team, the game needs more optimization and polishing before it can be released.

"The team is steadily progressing with the production and the game is nearing the finish line," reads the announcement. "The game is currently complete, and we are playtesting it.

"It is by far the biggest and most ambitious project we have ever done. Unfortunately, we realized that for us to bring the game to the level we envision, we need more time to optimize and polish it.

"We are sorry to keep you all waiting for a little longer, but we want the game to meet your highest expectations on release and we don't want to compromise on this."

Dying Light 2 has gone gold!
 
David76 Rising Star
News broke earlier this week that to fully complete Dying Light 2 Stay Human, you'll need at least 500 hours game time.

Developers, Techland have now clarified

500 hours is related to maxing out the game - finishing all the quests, endings, and exploring every part of the world, but a regular player should finish the story + side quests and do quite a lot of exploring in less than 100 hours, so don't worry!

We wanted to clarify our recent communication about the amount of hours required to complete the game. Dying Light 2: Stay Human is designed for players with different gameplay styles and preferences to explore the world how they see fit.

Sounds like the 500 hours also covers multiple playthroughs maybe? Multiple endings and choices. So maybe you've to play the game like 4 or 5 times at 20 hours each, and then the messing about, searching for stuff, collecting, etc.

I can see where they get that number from, them be Skyrim numbers! But as long as it remains as interesting as the first one, which was no short game itself also depending on playstyle and collecting etc I'll be fine with it.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. There are different factions in the game and their parts in the game where after liberating a location you decide which faction gets it. I wonder if these decisions also affect side quests too? This is an example of the choices

Looking forward to this

I really hope that the top right corner is an area for the buggy. Would be a shame if that was left out seeing how absolutely class of an addition it was in The Following.

Think I read somewhere that there will be no buggy in DL2. There will be a van you can drive but limited in use.
