So a new trailer just dropped showing some gameplay. Looks excellent. Coming December 7th for Xbox and PlayStation.

Never played the first one but I’ve been told it’s excellent, and there’s a new version coming out Dying Light Platinum Edition so it’s time to jump in as this trailer has me hyped.


Over twenty years ago in Harran, we fought the virus—and lost. Now, we’re losing again. The City, one of the last large human settlements, is torn by conflict. Civilization has fallen back into the Dark Ages. And yet, we still have hope.

You are a wanderer with the power to change the fate of The City. But your exceptional abilities come at a price. Haunted by memories you cannot decipher, you set out to learn the truth… and find yourself in a combat zone. Hone your skills, as to defeat your enemies and make allies, you’ll need both fists and wits. Unravel the dark secrets behind the wielders of power, choose sides and decide your destiny. But wherever your actions take you, there's one thing you can never forget—stay human.

VAST OPEN WORLD
Participate in the life of a city engulfed in a new dark era. Discover different paths and hidden passages, as you explore its multiple levels and locations.

CREATIVE & BRUTAL COMBAT
Take advantage of your parkour skills to tip the scales of even the most brutal encounter. Clever thinking, traps and creative weapons will be your best friends.

DAY AND NIGHT CYCLE
Wait for night to venture into dark hideouts of the Infected. Sunlight keeps them at bay, but once it’s gone, monsters begin the hunt, leaving their lairs free to explore.

CHOICES & CONSEQUENCES
Shape the future of The City with your actions and watch how it changes. Determine the balance of power by making choices in a growing conflict and forge your own experience.

2-4 PLAYER CO-OP GAMEPLAY
Play in up to four-player co-op. Host your own games or join others and see how their choices have played out differently than yours.
 
The first game is extremely good. Takes a while to get going but once you’ve unlocked a fair amount of your skill tree, it’s gets so good ! Well worth playing before the release of 2. Free running around the city is great fun. Also, the time of day mechanic is a cool addition.

I think I got as far as the first night mission and for some reason stopped playing. I ought to try again.
 
You really need to play the first game in co-op. It's a much more enjoyable game when played with a friend or 2.

I'll be picking the second game up on release. Can't wait.

Looks great. I didn't finish the first one as the OG XB1 performance was sooo bad but these new consoles will have sorted that so yeah I might day one this.
 
Day one purchase for me and I haven't bought a game on release since battlefield 4, I loved the first one and this looks like the same formula but improved and then some, can't wait
 
I did cancel my pre-order last week as I have gone for Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring. Reviews seem pretty mixed on this but it still looks like it might be good for a play through. I'll pick it up later in the year.
 
Love the first game. Looking forward to continuing the story. Guns were pretty rubbish in the first game - at least until I got a Volkatronix. Still, it's nothing compared to a Heat Wave.
 
I don't really get what this game is, is it solo or co-op? Or is it one of those ones that is fine either way? I hate co-op.
 
Mine shipped today. It was funny tho seeing the devs saying not to play until release so they can get the day1 patch sorted lol.

It’s pretty disappointing that there are no proper firearms in the game. Their explanation didn’t really make sense either as firearms from hundreds of years ago are still around now so considering it’s supposed to be about 20 years in the future it’s an odd choice in my opinion. Hopefully they will add some later in expansion/dlc so that it doesn’t alter the core of the game but for people who have completed and want a little shooty fun.
