Techland has released the latest in its Dying Light 2 Know More video series that explores many of the upcoming game’s features. In this latest edition, devs talk about the intricacies of the day-night cycle and how it has changed since the original game. Most notably, devs have revealed that some quests and characters will only be able to be discovered during the night and that Dark Zones that are packed with infected during the day empty out at night allowing players to explore the area for valuable goodies.
Lead Game Designer Tymon Smektala said, “How has the night changed since the first installment? What was added and expanded by Techland? This time, night isn’t only an obstacle, a fearful moment to survive and hide. Night is now a chance for players to explore new areas, encounter new objectives and quests, and obtain valuable loot in Dark Zones where infected hide during the day. But night isn’t easier or less adrenaline-pumping! When the infected start their chase, you have two options: run and hide, or… well, maybe you can discover for yourself. ”
The game will be launching in just a few days on Friday, February 4th. It will be available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Pre-orders are still open that come with exclusive content such as outfits, weapons, a backpack, and paraglider skins.
