Dying Light 2 Stay Human brings to life a unique post-apocalyptic vision of  Modern Dark Ages - a brutal, bleak, and unforgiving reality where you are as likely to perish at the hand of a human as you are by the Infected.

In Dying Light 2 Stay Human players are visiting the City—mankind's last stronghold in the fight against the virus.

Developed parkour mechanics enable players to explore the vast open world and use tactical combat. The lost civilization and setting of the modern dark ages requires creative approaches to finding items and crafting gear. 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 day. Players must choose which side they want to take and write their own story.

Make ambiguous decisions and witness how they impact the world on multiple levels, transform the shape of The City, and ultimately decide its fate.

The almost two-minute-long CGI trailer of Dying Light 2 Stay Human, prepared together with Platige Image, transports us to the brutal and unforgiving Modern Dark Ages, where “Staying Human” goes beyond mere survival giving us unsettling vision of life in The City.

Together with this new CGI trailer, Techland also presented an exclusive skin pack, “Reach for the sky”, available alongside the previously announced Reload Pack as an exclusive pre-order bonus. 

Everyone who pre-orders Dying Light 2 Stay Human will receive this pack, which has been created in close cooperation with Rosario Dawson (The Mandalorian, Sin City). Dawson plays the role of Lawan, an independent and indomitable citizen of The City, whom fate connects with the main protagonist Aiden during his journey. The exclusive digital “Reach for the sky” pack features a unique outfit, weapon, backpack and paraglider skins.

Each player who pre-orders Dying Light 2 Stay Human will receive in this pack:

• Crossbow skin for Lawan
• Backpack skin for Aiden and Lawan
• Paraglider skin for Aiden and Lawan
• Outfit for Lawan (not playable character)

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is powered by the C-Engine, a new generation of Techland’s in-house technology dedicated to open-world action-adventure and action-RPG games.

BAFTA-nominated French composer Olivier Derivière (A Plague Tale: Innocence, Streets of Rage 4, Remember Me) scores his most ambitious soundtrack yet in Dying Light 2 Stay Human. Renowned for his distinctive and dynamic soundtracks recognized by Billboard, Classic FM, MTV and The New York Times, Derivière commissioned A-list avant-garde musicians and custom-built instrumentation to bring a unique, emotional soundscape to the game’s deep story and visceral world infected by a viral outbreak.

As composer and music designer for Dying Light 2, Derivière sought to portray the game’s realistic themes of devastation, loss and isolation from a viral outbreak, human civilization’s fight for survival, and hope through unity, by way of a dual textured compositional approach. In his pursuit of unorthodox sounds, Derivière commissioned the London Contemporary Orchestra, one of the world’s leading innovative and respected avant-garde music ensembles, and recorded at Abbey Road Studios with three-time GRAMMY® award-winning score engineer John Kurlander. During their collaborative process, Derivière captured the experimental articulations of the orchestra to enhance the emotional narrative, while his rhythmic electronic synth soundtrack is steered by the strings of a bespoke electric psaltery instrument blended into the score and manipulated to evoke the gritty, lonely landscape and cold, corrupted state of the world’s seemingly hopeless future.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is coming to Nintendo Switch (Cloud), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC on February 4, 2022.
