Here’s everything we know so far about Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
Dying Light 2 (officially called Dying Light 2: Stay Human) is coming in 2021 and it looks like it’s going to be pretty frightening. For a long time, we weren’t sure if Dying Light 2 would ever come to fruition. Following its announcement at E3 2018, Techland initially set a release window of early 2020 for the long-awaited sequel. Then, in January 2020, the developer announced the game was delayed – giving no new release window. But thanks to a Dying Light 2 live stream on May 27, we now know Dying Light 2 is back on track and due to release December 7,2021. The highly anticipated survival horror looks to be considerably bigger than its predecessor with player choice at the center of the narrative. As the release date draws closer, we’re only seeing more and more from the game. Want to know more? Here’s everything we know so far about Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
