Dying Light 2 was released on Feb. 4 and takes place 15 years after the first game, Dying Light. With a new protagonist, Aiden Caldwell, players must navigate through a post-apocalyptic world and kill zombies on the way.
The game is set in the city of Villedor, a massive urban open world in Europe. In Dying Light 2, Aiden decides to bravely go through the city in order to find his long lost sister, Mia. The game features a new map, which is four times bigger than the first game's map, and is broken into seven distinct regions.
Yup, it's free. Our business is based on making a good game, not on forcing people to pay for more fps on their brand new console.
