The highly anticipated Dying Light 2 has been postponed indefinitely since early 2020. Now the developers are returning after a long silence and promise more updates for 2021.
What happened: Dying Light is one of the top titles in the survival genre and has been able to build a large fan base over the last five years. The first part is still played by an average of 9,400 players, with a 24-hour peak of 13,000 (via Steamcharts). The Polish developer Techland regularly updates the title and continuously adds new events or expansions to keep the community engaged.
We have also included Dying Light 2 in the 25 games you should definitely keep an eye on in 2020.
A second part is eagerly awaited and was announced back in 2018 at E3. However, it has been very quiet since early 2020 after developer Techland postponed Dying Light 2 indefinitely.
Techland speaks up after 1 year of silence via Discord
Here’s what happened: Only for their own community on the Dying Light Discord server, the developers broke the silence and published a message:
Accordingly, Techland plans to report more actively about the development progress next year. The news could also involve a new release window.
Techland had previously confirmed that they would continue to provide Dying Light 2 with new content for years, just as they did with part 1. This would also mean that they are developing a next-gen version for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. So far, Dying Light 2 has only been announced for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
What the developers want to tell us will only be revealed in 2021. Are you looking forward to what awaits us?
