14 DAY TRIAL // This week has started pretty bad for gamers, as two highly-anticipated games have been delayed. After SEGA announced that Total War: Warhammer III is now releasing in 2022, the folks at Techland revealed Dying Light 2 has been pushed onto 2022 as well.
The good news is we won’t have to wait too longer for Dying Light 2. The game was originally slated for a December 2021 release, and it’s now supposed to come out on February 4, 2022, so it’s a 3-month delay.
In a statement released today, Techland confirmed that it needs more time to polish and optimize Dying Light 2, so it decided that the extra three months would be just enough to bring the game closer to its vision.
“The team is steadily progressing with the production and the game is nearing the finish line. The game is complete, and we are currently playtesting it. It is by far the biggest and the most ambitious project we’ve ever done. Unfortunately, we’ve realized for us to bring the game to the latest we envision, we need more time to polish and optimize it.”
Despite the delay, Techland revealed that next month, both the press and content creators will get their hands on PC and console versions of Dying Light 2, and they will be able to share their impressions with readers and fans.
So, even though Dying Light 2 has been delayed, previews will still happen, and fans of the series won’t have to wait too long to get a deeper look at the upcoming game.
Techland’s story-driven open-world action role-playing game takes players to the City – mankind's last stronghold in the fight against the virus. Everything from the previous games has been enhanced and improved, including the parkour mechanics and combat.
Also, gameplay shifts during a day and night cycle, so players can dare to plunder abandoned lairs of infected at night and discover the dark secrets of those in power by the day.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human, published by Techland, launches February 4 2022 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
