It is an upcoming survival
horror action role-playing game developed by Techland and published by Square
Enix.
The game, which is the sequel to 2015's Dying Light, will be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox
One in Spring 2020.
Dying Light 2 is an open world first-person zombie apocalyptic-themed
action role-playing game that begins 15 years after Dying Light, starring
a new protagonist named Aiden Caldwell, who is equipped with various parkour
skills.
Players can perform actions such as climbing ledges, sliding, leaping
off from edges, and wall running to quickly navigate the city. More than double
the parkour moves have been added since the first game, some are exclusive to
particular areas of the city. Tools such as a grappling hook and a paraglider
also aid transversal in the city. Aiden can also use the undead to break his
fall.
The game is mostly melee-based with the majority of fighting using melee
weapons that have a limited lifespan and will degrade the longer
the player uses them in combat. Long-range weapons such as
crossbows, shotguns, spears, can be used as well.
Weapons can be upgraded with
different blueprints and components which can be found by breaking down them for craft parts. Aiden can also utilize superhuman skills due to the infection and new zombies have been added.
Like the first game, the zombies are slow when
exposed to sunlight, but they become more aggressive and hostile at night.
