14 DAY TRIAL // Techland, the studio behind the popular Dead Island series, has confirmed that it's going to release another zombie game, this time in the form of an all-new experience called Dying Light, which will appear for next-generation consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) but also for current devices (PS3 and Xbox 360) and for PC.
The Dead Island series impressed by combining a brutal first-person combat system that featured not only guns but also melee weapons, with RPG mechanics and other such things.
Now, Techland has confirmed that it's teamed up with Warner Bros. to launch Dying Light, a new zombie survival experience that features not just some of the mechanics from Dead Island, like close and long range combat or crafted weapons, but combines them with a day-and-night cycle and a free-running system.
In Dying Light, players are cast as one of four customizable survivors that need to scavenge the open world by day and fight aggressive zombies and other dangers by night.
Check out the full list of features below.
• Survive the Night - During the day, players roam free and scavenge for supplies and weapons. But at night, the world undergoes a deadly transformation: the hunter becomes the hunted as the infected grow more aggressive and numerous, and something far more sinister awakens to stalk its prey. • Free Running Movement - Whether tracking prey or escaping predators, Dying Light lets players swiftly navigate the world by seamlessly leaping between buildings, grappling up walls and pouncing on unsuspecting enemies. • Welcome to the Quarantine - Dying Light is set in a vast open world, delivering expansive and varied environments, a wide variety of enemy classes and a hopeless tale of survival where resources are scarce and the infected are not the only threat. • Brutal Melee and Ranged Combat - get up-close using a variety of light and heavy weapons including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more exotic weaponry or utilize guns and other firepower to take down enemies from a distance. • Choose Your Play Style - Dying Light features four playable characters that can be fully customized and upgraded to match any play style. • Craft Your Weapon - Why use a wrench when you can use a wrench wrapped in electrified barb wire? Dying Light’s sizeable crafting system enables players to create a slew of new, more potent weapons and equipment, as well as specialized ammunition. • Breathtaking Visuals and Gameplay - Dying Light is the first game powered by Chrome Engine 6, a cutting edge incarnation of Techland’s proprietary technology, designed from the ground up for the new console generation, DirectX 11 and other advanced solutions.
Dying Light will be released in 2014 for PC, PS3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
