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.

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.

Techland has outlined a new roadmap for upcoming Dying Light 2 content that'll be out this autumn and winter.

Many players may have forgotten about Dying Light 2, but thankfully its developer hasn't, as there a new roadmap has outlined a bunch of new additions that are coming to the game. Techland shared the roadmap to the game's official Twitter account, which didn't go into specifics, but did give a good overview of the main things you can expect. For one, there are more missions, including co-op missions, board quests, and replayable gre anomalies, as well as more firearms, one of which looks to be a new shotgun. There will also be a tower raid of some kind, but again no specifics.



There was also a lengthy list of smaller additions that will be coming to the game. On the weapons front, you'll soon be able to repair your weapons, and also seemingly dismantle mods for your gear. Alongside that, knives and polearms are being added in, with a new weapon rarity too. You can expect new enemy variants and a new "nightmare" difficulty at some point, and fresh finishers to take down said enemies with. Modders might also be happy to hear the community mods support will be coming somewhere along the line too.

The roadmap also outlined some upcoming events and crossovers, with a Vampire: The Masquerade crossover kicking things off this October. A Halloween event is on the way too, presumably also in October, and another crossover with Ubisoft's For Honor of all games is coming in November. December will see the arrival of a winter celebrations event, and a second anniversary event is planned for, well, the game's second anniversary.

This new update looks great as well but I'm really interested to know about their upcoming expansion. Big shoes to fill after The Following.

Seeing the talk recently of The Beast, I booted up my save again. 24 hours played on the second playthrough, just onto the second area with a Peacekeepers playthrough (and 47 hours on a completed Survivors playthrough), and the idea of a 20-hour game is appealing even if the price tag is not. Still don't think DL2 is anywhere near as good as 1, but still a good game, and The Beast does look fun at least.
