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.
Yesterday in Dying Light 2 Stay Human, the new parkour challenge Flying Scorpion arrived in The City, challenging all Pilgrims to show off their parkour skills all across the Central Loop. Did you pass the test? Perfect! New challenges will appear in the game this Thursday, ready for you to give them a whirl.
On Thursday, March 17, you will be able to face four new amazing trials specially prepared by Techland for every Pilgrim out there:
- Suspension of Disbelief - This challenge will test your wall-running skills in the heart of Central Loop!
- Grakour - This challenge in Old Villedor will check all your basic skills so don’t make any mistakes or you’ll be kissing the gold medal goodbye!
- Stroll on the river - Ready to get soaked?
- My Whole World is a Glider - Fly Pilgrim... Fly high over the chemical areas and try not to fall, or at least not too hard!
But this is not all!
Techland have also prepared a new series, At The Fish Eye, which will focus on post-launch activities for Dying Light 2 Stay Human, the developers' lives, and entertainment straight from The City.
In the first episode, several Techland developers will face each other in four challenges to earn a prize and the title of the first Techland Nightrunner.
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 available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC, followed by Nintendo Switch (Cloud) later in 2022.
