Mar 31, 2021 15:00 EDT The hype surrounding Dying Light 2 should come as no surprise to anyone who played the first installment, really, given how well that game fared both critically and commercially. While Polish developer Techland made hit games before, such as Dead Island and the Call of Juarez series, Dying Light was on another scale entirely with its over 18 million unique players across all platforms. The fan base is so huge that Techland still holds in-game events, such as the Zombie Hunt Event that took place last month as part of the celebrations for the game's sixth anniversary. Of course, fans also very much long for Dying Light 2 at this point. First announced at E3 2018, the sequel aims to be much more ambitious than the original as it adds a whole underlying RPG system based on choices and consequences.
