Techland has emphasised the immense scale of Dying Light 2 by revealing the quantity of dialogue that’s been written for the upcoming zombie survival game. Paired with the estimated time to 100% the game, as well as the extensive arsenal available to players – Dying Light 2 is looking to be a great follow-up to the original game.

Dying Light 2 picks up 20 years after the events of the first game. Players are placed in the shoes of Aiden Caldwell as he struggles for survival in an unknown, zombie-infested European metropolis. Caldwell will have to navigate the undead as well as other factions attempting to live, which will rise and fall based on the choices made by the players.

Given the aforementioned impact of player choices on Dying Light 2’s characters and factions, it was reasonable to expect the game to be dialogue-heavy. Techland opted to disclose the game’s nearly 350,000 written words, which make up 40,000 lines of in-game dialogue, on Twitter.

350,000 words, 40,000 lines of dialogues – that’s the world we’ve built for you in Dying Light 2 Stay Human. Are you ready to explore it?#DyingLight2 #StayHuman pic.twitter.com/A0D0nzObbj

What to Expect from Dying Light 2

When comparing Dying Light 2 to Dying Light, Techland has already utilised similar tactic, pointing out that the metropolis is four times larger than the zombie-infested island in the first game.

Like the previous game, the sequel will have parkour traversal as well as an improved weaponry system in which melee weapons deteriorate through time and use as players repair and upgrade their arsenals.

Techland is publishing the quantity of communication to indicate how much consideration it has given to the potential influence players may have on the globe. The developer has said many times how crucial the factions in Dying Light 2 are to the city, the game’s narrative, and how players’ actions will impact their position in the city.

If players’ choices have that much of an impact on the world, the game would need a lot of conversation to account for the variety of endings before the credits roll, and players would be enticed to return for a second playing to discover how alternative choices change the game.

Dying Light 2 launches across all platforms on February 4th 2022. It’s available to pre-order from our store now!

The post Dying Light 2 Has Around 350,000 Lines of Dialogue first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Dying Light 2, the much anticipated open-world horror arrives next month after significant delays over the years. Techland has stated that there would be extensive development beyond the launch date, including the addition of new stories and locales.

“Want to know what happens AFTER the premiere?” they wrote on Friday.” We guarantee to expand the world of Dying Light 2 Stay Human for at least 5 years post launch with new stories, locations, in-game events and all the fun stuff you love!”

Numerous Development Delays for Dying Light 2

The sequel to 2015’s zombie survival game was announced at Xbox’s E3 2018 conference and was set to debut in spring 2020, but that date was pushed back to January 2020.

Following complaints of sexual harassment, narrative designer Chris Avellone left the project in June 2020, which impacted the development process. They also had issues with technical limitations, which meant the game had to be re-built from scratch essentially.

The Dying Light 2 developers responded to impatient fans in March by reading out some of their most hostile comments and assuring them that the game would be released this year.

The game’s first announced release date was set for December 7, 2021, but it was later moved back to February 4, 2022. It looks like it has been well worth the wait though.

Following opposition to its prior assertion that the game will take more than 500 hours to complete, the Dying Light 2 production team clarified the game’s length and responded to backlash from fans.

While the tweet was meant to be complimentary, it was met with criticism from players who felt it was too long for a single game. Techland then clarified in a follow-up tweet that the main storyline within the game is only 20 hours long. The total game time is inclusive of completing everything on offer. Check out some co-op gameplay that was recently released!

The post Dying Light 2 Will Receive 5-Years Of Post-Launch Content first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Unlike my last Dying Light 2 blog, my decision to write on this, plot twist, ISN’T just because we happen to have Dying Light 2 pre-order copies available (not that I’m stopping you from getting them, wink wink, nudge nudge).

There’s been some mild (by Twitter standards at least) backlash to Dying Light 2 following a recent claim the game will be some 500 hours in length! More on that here. The folks at Techland recently came out with a statement that essentially boils down to “calm your tits, we’re not trying to outdo Persona 5 here! What we MEANT was that 100% completion of the whole game will take about 500 hours, the story campaign (excluding multiple runs for different endings) will be about 20 hours. Will that be enough to please Her Majesty’s Secret Service”?… I’m paraphrasing of course, the day a company says “calm your tits” about literally anything is the day I uncritical my race theory!

Fun fact: According to the official Dying Light 2 Twitter, 500 hours would be the approximate time it’d take to walk from Warsaw to Madrid.

More specifically, the Dying Light 2 team have given the following approximations:

• 20 hours to complete the main story.
• 80 hours to finish the story AND all side quests.
• 500 hours to “max out” the game with all “choices and endings, checking every place on the map, every dialogue and finding every collectible”.

So, why DID I choose to talk about this? Well, sit down and strap on, it’s story time! There’s this one small-time not-too-well-known indie gaming bloke you might have heard about? By the name of… checks notes. Hide E.O Couchiema? Kyjama? Kojesus? Ko- Okay, I’ll stop! Long story short, Metal Gear Solid games. Solid franchise, varying degrees of storytelling quality, always hilariously over-the-top even at the worst of times… Then Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes happened, where on launch, folks essentially paid 40 quid for what amounted to one 15-30 minute level, presumably because Konami felt like giving some cheeky foreshadowing of how they’d rather sabotage their own business than carry on making video games (though with that attitude, probably for the best they’re sticking to making Pachinko machines).

That mildly-quirky recap of the situation’s my way of saying “well hey, better too much than too little, oi oi”.

The post Dying Light 2 Studio on 500-Hour Claim’s… Backlash? first appeared on Get2Gaming.

If you’re excited for Dying Light 2, then this will be music to your ears. According to a recent Twitter post from the game’s official page, to fully 100% all of Dying Light 2’s content will take roughly 500 hours. This huge task was compared to the journey between Warsaw and Madrid, taking around 524 hours itself.

To fully complete Dying Light 2 Stay Human, you'll need at least 500 hours—almost as long as it would take to walk from Warsaw to Madrid!#DyingLight2 #stayhuman pic.twitter.com/Sk3KFpRJoA

Dying Light 2 Is Going to be Big!

500 hours is a huge amount of content, and it does beg the question as to whether there will be enough to keep things fresh and exciting or if it will get stale over time. I doubt this will be the case though, as the gameplay shown so far looks pretty good, with maybe a few minor gripes here or there. But nothing major. A traditional playthrough of the game will take significantly less time than this though of course.

https://twitter.com/DyingLightGame/status/1479889980205981705

A normal playthrough of the game still provides ‘less than 100 hours’ of gameplay, according to another tweet posted shortly after. So, from the sounds of it there is a lot to explore in this zombie riddled world, regardless of whether you are a completionist!

The post-apocalyptic towns of Dying Light have evolved into overgrown, contemporary dark ages 15 years after the events of the original game. The parkour and melee combat we grew to love in the original has grown and been improved upon in a vastly larger open world. Each have their own devoted skill tree, which you can read more about here.

The game does look a little bit dated from what we’ve seen so far, and more akin to something you’d expect on PS4 or Xbox One rather than the current generation of consoles. This is understandable though, as the game’s Lead Designer Tymon Smektała explained in an interview with VGC last year how Dying Light 2 essentially had to be remade from the ground up due to technical limitations. Given that everything was remade anew, I think things are looking pretty good for the February 4^th release.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is scheduled to release on February 4th 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Pre-Order it from our store now!

The post Dying Light 2 Will Take Roughly 500 Hours to 100% the Game first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Why yes, we do have Dying Light 2 pre-order deals that Definitely Had No Impact On My Decision To Write This Article At All… TM.

For the uninitiated, Dying Light is a first-person action-adventure game seeing you use all manner of sick-gnarly flame-swords, guns and hardcore parkour to survive in a zombie post-apocalypse.

The sequel is being developed by Techland, who recently released a primer on how Dying Light 2’s combat will work.

Dying Light 2 is currently slated for release in the month of love, chocolate and Deadpool, February (4th)! I can only assume the story mode will be a heart-warming wholesome ballad about the star-crossed romance between Tom Genericzombie and my 400-Horse-Power Battleaxe (AKA, Lucy).

In this handy-dandy video, Techland explained and showed how players will have access to a parkour skill tree and a combat skill tree, so you can mix-and-match which order of skills you want to specialize in. Do you wanna go guns-blazing like a drunk guinea pig, or unleash your inner Ong-Bak street-chasing skills? Trick question, on a long enough timeline, you’ll unlock everything in both skill trees anyway!

Beating enemies and performing certain actions often will net you skill points that you can put into the skill trees, as well as generally completing in-game quests.

Main skills include:

Grappling and throwing enemies: For when CQC stands for “Close Quarters- Charlie, stop saying ‘judo throw’ every time you do that, you’ll alert the zombies”!

A double-jump:🎵I’m defying GRAAAVITYYYYY🎵

Parrying enemy attacks: “Filthy casuals beware, you’re in for a scare… Except the Sekiro fanboys, you’re good”.

Ground Pound: “Look, just because your name’s Mario doesn’t mean you can magically…. Oh, shows what I know”.

Bash: Live out your line-pushing fantasies to Karen-esque proportions!

Tic Tac: “For the last time John, what the f*ck do Tic Tacs have to do with wall-running”!?

Far Jump: “Come on dude, just pick a naming style, none of this wishy-washy half-n-half crap”.

Techland have also confirmed the final behind the scenes video on Dying Light 2 will be dropping January 13th, so keep an eye open for that one.

Dying Light 2 will be releasing on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. A cloud version will also release for the Nintendo Switch.

The post Dying Light 2’s Epic Skill Tree Reveal + Cheeky Roasting first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Techland’s Dying Light 2 Stay Human is long awaited sequel to their acclaimed survival horror game. Players must use weapons and parkour skills to survive a zombie apocalypse. It has recently been revealed that there will be over 500 pieces of equipment to help you survive the night.

The game takes place 20 years after the events of the original Dying Light, and it features a new protagonist named Aiden Caldwell, as well as greater customization choices than the previous game and a heavier emphasis on choices.

Dying Light 2 was first revealed at E3 2018 and has since been postponed several times. With 2022 finally upon us, Dying Light 2 is not far off from being released as it’s scheduled for February 4^th 2022.

The news comes from the official Dying Light Twitter account, which disclosed on December 31st that Dying Light 2 will have over 500 distinct items of gear in addition to better parkour and fighting. This will provide players a lot of character customisation choices in the game.

The post doesn’t give specific details of the items, but it does display an image of one set of items that players can find in the game.

There are over 500 different items you can equip in Dying Light 2 Stay Human. Talk about gearing up! #DyingLight2 pic.twitter.com/2RQMA79lcJ

— Dying Light (@DyingLightGame) December 31, 2021

The general reaction to the post has been a combination of surprise and delight, with many commenters stunned that Dying Light 2 will include so many goods. Others expressed their excitement at the thought of collecting and using so many objects in the game.

A few days prior, the Dying Light account tweeted that the game will feature 140 different weapons for players to choose from, as well as more immersive gameplay.

The post Dying Light 2 Will Have A Massive Variety of Equipment first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Techland’s latest instalment of its Dying 2 Know mini-series delved into multiple elements of it’s upcoming open-world RPG Dying Light 2. In terms of gameplay, the fifth episode was especially revealing, featuring a full 15 minutes of never-before-seen video as we were guided through the quest “A Place to Call Home.”

It appears to take place after some progress into the game’s plot line, and it gives us additional insight into Aiden’s personal trip through The City. This preview includes a considerable amount of parkour, intense combat, and important decisions, all of which are key elements of Dying Light 2’s gameplay.

The original Dying Light, released in 2015, combines fluid first-person running and gunning with a post-apocalyptic zombie-infested open environment. Think Mirror’s Edge meets Dead Island. It was also well received by critics and fans, and it came with some very great DLC support too.

Dying Light 2 Looks Great

The combat in this game looks great. It’s a fluid mix of melee and parkour, as you dodge enemies’ attacks, stun them, jump over them, wall run and kick them in the head. The slow-motion effect after some actions looks good too and I can imagine that will feel very satisfying.

Traversing the game’s world looks smooth, and it looks well populated with enemies too. Baring in mind the footage takes place during the daytime, I can only begin to imagine that the night will hold many more terrors.

We’re introduced to two factions the – Peace Keepers and a group of nutjobs called the Renegades. The interaction with them seemed a bit cheesy, but maybe that’s just me. Either way, I look forward to seeing what other factions are present in the game and what opportunities they will present.

Speaking of, the decisions in this game actually look tough to choose between from the glimpse we was given. The benefit offered by the PKs seems better in terms of what it offers, but story-wise I’d feel more inclined to side with the Survivors. I’d much prefer exploding car traps to deal with crowds of zombies than airbags.

While the base game is complete and ready for release, Techland developers are eager to continue their work. Lead game creator Tymon Smektala praised his team and expressed excitement for the approaching release in a press statement.

“We are very excited about this,” Smektala said, “and now we can truly sense that this is actually happening!” “After so many years of hard work, we are proudly looking forward to the release of Dying Light 2: Stay Human,” Smektela added.

Dying Light 2 is expected to release on February 4th 2022, after having been pushed back from December 2021. This was due to the pandemic causing development problems. Thankfully it looks as though things are on track. Recent gameplay shows how the game’s story has heavier emphasis on player choice. Today’s broadcast will show new gameplay which will feature some unseen aspects of Dying Light 2: Stay Human.

The post Dying Light 2: Stay Human New Gameplay Drops Today! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Coverage has surfaced from a recent media event that shows new gameplay footage of Dying Light 2: Stay Human. The first Dying Light was a very well made game, but it left me wanting more and thinking about some of the things they would improve on in a sequel. For a while it seemed like a follow-up game was unlikely, but contrary to popular belief Dying Light 2 does actually exist.

GameInformer posted the video above on YouTube, which shows some footage of the game while they discuss some of the game’s new features.

An important aspect of Dying Light was making choices that were impactful and mattered. Dying Light 2 supposedly builds on this and makes it even more vital, but it is not yet revealed how exactly it does this to avoid spoilers. There are several factions available for players to join , and your choices impact the alignment of the city towards these factions.

How Factions Affect Gameplay in Dying Light 2

The faction alignment impacts gameplay in a number of ways. One of them is that, depending on how the alignment is shifted, you will have access to certain benefits depending on how the alignment is shifted. For example, one faction will set up more zip-lines to traverse of rooftops rather than using the ground.  Another faction will set up traps on the ground for zombies.

Your decisions with faction alignment will also affect which NPCs play a part in your story. Different factions will have different NPCs playing more prominent roles to you, whereas they may have a more minor role were you to side with another faction and shift the alignment in their favour.

The Game’s Refined Mechanics

The original Dying Light had solid parkour mechanics that were similar to Mirror’s Edge, with extra focus on gunplay and close combat. The gameplay in Dying Light was good, if not a little awkward at times. Dying Light 2 looks like it has taken the framework the original established and built upon it substantially.

Dying Light 2 looks much more precise  with many more animations and moves available to the player, thanks to the new tools. The combat looks more refined too as it looks a lot more realistic due to the way enemies react to being attacked.

In general, the game looks like it’s going in the right direction. Many aspects were unexpected, such as enemy healthbars, but it appears to be very enjoyable. The game’s HUD is one area where I believe it might be improved. It takes up a lot of space on the screen. It would have been more immersive if it had been more simplistic.

Dying Light 2 will release for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on  February 4th 2022, and is available to pre-order from our store now! Don’t miss out on the zombie-slaying mayhem.

The post Dying Light 2: Stay Human Has Big Emphasis on Choice first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Another disappointment for Dying Light fans, the second instalment in the franchise has hit another snag and is now set to be released on 4th February 2022, pushed back from a 7th December 2021 unveiling. Initially, the title was set to release in Spring 2020 but has seen multiple delays. It could be another impact from the continuation of the pandemic and the difficulty of staff filling buildings safely.

2015’s Dying Light was set in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies were beginning to take over, and travelling at night was not an option as they become restless, with more variations of the terrors waking up for you to run from or fight. The movement system was fluid and extremely fun to traverse the high rooftops using the grappling hook, and other techniques learnt along the way to free roam however you liked. The second seems similar from the gameplay trailer which you can check out below but is set in the future when “civilisation has fallen back into the dark ages”.

The news was announced via a public statement through Twitter from Techland CEO Pawel Marchewka. In this, the reasoning behind the delay is straightforward and sincere to eager fans of the game. If Dying Light 2: Stay Human has the qualities of the original Dying Light, it’ll be something that’ll be worth the wait for.

Marchewka explains,

“It has always been our company’s goal to build transparent and honest communication with our community, fans and gamers.”

As a result, the company has notified its fans early each time there has been a delay and clearly don’t want to release an unfinished game.

The CEO continued,

“Dying Light 2 Stay Human is by far the biggest and the most ambitious project we’ve ever done. But, unfortunately, we’ve realised for us to bring the game to the level we envision, we need more time to polish and optimise it.”

The need to “polish and optimise it” should not be seen as a negative for the game’s release but a sign that the development team cares about their work to please the fan base. After such a long time in development, originally being showcased at E3 in 2019, two more months of waiting is not so long.

Hopefully, the game will be playable on the 4th February 2022 on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S and, similarly to the original, can be played co-operatively online.
