Dying Light’s sequel, which was announced a long time ago, got a new name, and if things go right, we don’t have to wait until 2022 for the open-world zombie parkour game.

Techland‘s game can now be pre-ordered, and if you do so, you will get the Reload outfit, and weapon and paraglider skin. The game will be available in multiple formats. There’s the 60 USD/EUR standard edition, then there’s the 80 USD/EUR deluxe edition, which is going to be available both digitally and in retail. It will include a steelbook (only in physical form), and on top of that, you get access to a story DLC that will be available in the months after the release, exclusive weapon charms, the Legendary outfit, and weapon and paraglider skin, some wallpapers ready to print, plus a digital comic, artbook, and soundtrack. The 100 USD/EUR ultimate edition will be digital only. It will include everything from the deluxe edition, as well as a two-hour night XP boost, crafting items, plus the expansion pass with two extra stories that will be available in the months after the release.

The collector’s edition has no pricing, and it’s physical only. It will contain the ultimate edition of Dying Light 2: Stay Human, as well as a hard copy art book, a UV flashlight, a map of the city, three postcards, a „Voice of the City” stickers pack, a thank-you letter from our creative director, all in a special box.

Here’s Techland’s overview of the game: „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.

[…] 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. […]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. […]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. […] 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. […] Play in up to four-player co-op. Host your games or join others and see how their choices have played out differently than yours,” Techland wrote.

And finally, the release date: Dying Light 2: Stay Human will launch on December 7 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. We’re afraid of the PS4/X1 performance…
