What’s Next For Dying Light 2: An Interview With Its Lead Game Designer

From Game Informer: "Dying Light 2 Stay Human was released on February 4 to largely positive reviews and massive player count numbers, especially compared to that of the first Dying Light. It remains one of the highest-scoring games Game Informer has reviewed this year, receiving a 9.5 out of 10, and in less than 24 hours after release, Dying Light 2’s PC player count peak surpassed Dying Light’s all-time high peak.

By all accounts, Dying Light 2 was a massive success for Techland, which had been working on the sequel for years. Getting to that success wasn’t easy, though. After its indefinite delay back in 2020, The Gamer released a new report that painted a picture of a lack of leadership, a lack of direction, and a demoralizing atmosphere at the studio. Less than a year prior, the studio released a statement announcing it had parted ways with narrative designer Chris Avellone after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced. "

"actually being on good terms with your community and working with your community and supporting your community…is extremely beneficial to you as a game developer"

Now this is something that we have seen with dying light 1, and I was really impressed that all those years later it was still being updated and perfected. This is one of the big reasons why I was for once not afraid to insta buy/pre order DL2, although quite close to release.

TimmyTesticles1178d ago

It's too bad the acting is so cringey. Absolutely amazing game otherwise.

Demetrius1178d ago

I have been wanting to replay part one I miss it lol I will
Be getting it on switch this time

Nephesh1178d ago

Go back and optimize it for next-gen?

Ninver1178d ago

A long break I suppose. Seems the studio has been working non stop for years on this game alone. They need to make something else in a completely different genre.

I finally beat DL2 this past weekend. I’ll pick up the Beast for sure.

got_dam137d ago

It got a lot of shit from fans more not being as scary at night on release. I was in that boat. But once I gave it a fair shot I really loved it. The movement was so much more expressive to me. I enjoyed the story too.... for the most part. Was my game of the year when it came out. With all the updates for darker nights and all that, it's even better. I feel almost exactly the same about stalker 2 right now. The erojank games are scratching my itch.

Both Resistance games will be "streaming only"

JEECE213d ago

So unfortunate. I'd subscribe to premium in a heartbeat if I could play Resistance: FoM for real on there. But game streaming is and always will be trash.

OtterX213d ago

I wish the Portal would do PS+ Streaming. I really want to play these handheld on it. :\

MrBaskerville213d ago

I wish they would release them properly. But have been playing Ratchet and Clank games om streaming and it works pretty well these days, where I live atleast, so will probably give them a shot regardless.

Knushwood Butt213d ago

Guess I'll be trying streaming for the first time then.

darthv72212d ago

Until they remaster PS3 games properly for play on the 4/5... I keep my 3 hooked up for just these situations.
