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. "
Techland is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dying Light with updates and events for both games. The new The Beast game comes out soon.

"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.
It's too bad the acting is so cringey. Absolutely amazing game otherwise.
I have been wanting to replay part one I miss it lol I will
Be getting it on switch this time
Go back and optimize it for next-gen?
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.
