Dying Light 2 release date, release time, and all the details

Dying Light 2 has been delayed several times but fear not - this highly anticipated zombie game is coming, and soon

Dying Light 2 release date

When is the Dying Light 2 release date? Techland announced the sequel to their parkour zombie game back at E3 2018. Four laters later it’s still not been released, but hope is on the horizon – you won’t have to wait much longer.

We’ve seen plenty of details about the game’s gameplay, setting, and story, plus a few gameplay trailers. Techland is massively expanding on Dying Light 1’s parkour movement – it’s safe to say that this isn’t going to be your typical undead shooter.

Dying Light 2 is set in a decaying city that is struggling to keep itself together amid competing factions, so you will have a lot more to deal with than undead monstrosities. The decisions you make and the groups you team up with will shape the world around you, allowing you to reap the ensuing rewards if you can stomach the consequences. Here are all the latest details about Dying Light 2, including the Dying Light 2 release date and the latest trailers.

A further delay was announced moving the December 2021 release date to early 2022; you can read the full statement below:

Dying Light 2 multiplayer

Dying Light might have had co-op but, Dying Light 2’s multiplayer does things differently. Four-player co-op returns but, this time, three players must join one host’s game due to the decision-based narrative.

Central to Dying Light 2’s story is that of choices that have consequence for the world around you. Factions you side with might become dominant, painting the town red (or whatever colour they choose), as well as offering you new parkour routes and trading opportunities. That means your Dying Light 2 world will be unique to you, and the practicalities of that in co-op are still to be finalised.

DYING LIGHT 2 DLC

Smektala confirmed plans for post-launch content for Dying Light 2, he says that plans have already been made for years of support.

This comes as no surprise to Dying Light 1 players, as Techland continue to provide support since 2015, including The Following expansion pack in 2016. Although plans haven’t yet been specified for Dying Light 2 DLC, we are rest assured that Smektala knows we’re eager for content updates in his promise to deliver fans just that.
