Dying Light 2: Reloaded Edition News

The Dying Light 2 reveal event will begin soon

May 27, 2021 The Dying Light 2 reveal event is about to begin.

Dying Light 2 developer Techland stayed pretty quiet over the past year about its upcoming zombie game, but lately the Polish developer has been rumbling. More information on Dying Light 2 is on the way, and perhaps the pre-launch hype floodgates are preparing to open. Whatever the case, we'll be seeing something new about Dying Light 2 this week, in a Twitch stream scheduled to begin shortly.

Techland hasn't said exactly what it plans to show off in the livestream, which is set for 12 p.m. PT / 3 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. BST on the official Techland Twitch channel. It seems fair to expect a new peek at some gameplay footage, or potentially a new trailer. We also may get a new Dying Light 2 release date, or failing that, at least a release window.

Dying Light 2 had been slated for launch last spring, but was indefinitely delayed without much in the way of explanation beyond the studio needing more time "to fulfill our vision" for the follow-up to its popular open-world zombie parkour adventure.

Dying Light 2 has no guns, and it has a shotgun

One of the big inflection points in zombie game Dying Light is when you first lay hands on a firearm. Up until that point, you had been dealing the Harran's infestation of zombies with whatever melee weapons you could cobble together - cricket bats, pipes, and creatively electrified combinations of junk that could remove zombie limbs while cauterizing the wounds. Guns changed the game - and they won't be part of Dying Light 2. However, there is a shotgun in Dying Light 2.

Sure, that sounds a bit contradictory: you can't have a game with "no guns" if there's a shotgun, that's just how reality works, right? Well, it's just a matter of how you're counting firearms versus other weapons. In Dying Light 2, which is set some years after the events of the first co-op game, a world war has led to the destruction of most weapons - meaning you won't be able to find mass-produced guns lying around the city the way you eventually did in the original Dying Light.

You will, however, still be able to craft weapons - and these craftable arms include several ranged options. With the right components, you'll even be able to build a rudimentary shotgun - which technically breaks the "no guns" rule, but it should feel pretty natural in the post apocalyptic setting of Dying Light 2.

Dying Light 2 development update set for next week

News about Dying Light 2 has been spotty over the past year or so, with most updates having to do with high-profile staffing departures - the studio cut ties with writer Chris Avellone following allegations of harassment, and narrative lead Pawel Selinger left the company in January. Now Techland, which has pushed back against rumours that its zombie game was in "development hell," says it has news to share about Dying Light 2... next week.

"We've got a few words to share with you about the Dying Light 2 development process," Techland tweeted cryptically March 12. "Be sure to be with us next Wednesday." The tweet also included a link to the Dying Light Discord server, promising a first look at the announcement there.

After such a turbulent year across the games industry, this is the kind of announcement-of-an-announcement that could cause alarm among fans. With little word from the studio to go on and rumours of a stalled-out development, some players might reasonably fear that the studio is gearing up to announce the game's cancellation.
