With the promise of a preview and further news coming down the line, stay tuned for more on Dying Light 2 as details become available. If, as Techland says, the game is content complete, we could likely see the game in a state that still has a few bugs to squash and some final polish to add, but at least it still isn’t too far off with an arrival in February. The developer promises that more updates and news are on the way for the game, as well as an opportunity soon that allow fans to see what the game is looking and playing like through a preview with press and influencers. Techland has attempted to be far more communicative since breaking its silence earlier this year with regular updates.
Dying Light 2 joins games like Horizon Forbidden West, more recently Total War: Warhammer 3, and many more in this regard. The delay is quite substantial, taking another game out of the 2021 calendar. Dying Light 2's delay will take its release date out of 2021's calendar and into February 2022. Like the original, Dying Light 2 will have four-player co-op but, because the sequel is so radically different from the original, it had to be changed so that one player hosts and the other three. It was originally supposed to launch on December 7, 2021. With that in mind, the game has been delayed to February 4, 2022. Dying Light 2 is a vast game after all with a lot of changes to the city based on choices you make. While Techland claims the game is complete from a content standpoint, the playtesting is going slower than expected. The Dying Light 2 delay announcement was made on the Dying Light Twitter on September 14, 2021.
A delay was just announced for Dying Light 2, pushing the game from December 2021 into February of next year. However, Techland isn’t as ready to pull the trigger on the final version’s release as everyone thought. Having broken silence earlier this year, Techland has been pretty frequent for updates and content reveals on the upcoming open-world zombie action survival game. Dying Light 2 has had quite the road back into regular gaming discourse, conversations, and anticipation. Dying Light 2 is set to release in just a few short months and that should come with tonnes of new mechanics and factions to learn about.
