A relatively relaxed minimums leave room for eye-popping ray tracing specs in the new Dying Light

After the continuous delays that Techland’s title has suffered, the parkour and zombie action game is less than two months away from landing in our homes. With it, we will have a much more ambitious sequel than the first title, both in terms of gameplay and visuals.

The latter is precisely what concerns us today, as the studio has published the minimum and recommended requirements for the Dying Light 2 PC version through its official social networks. It will feature Ray Tracing, so it also establishes what we will need if we want to play with this technology activated.

It will have next-gen improvements, but the post-apocalyptic parkour is set to return in a big way on all platforms.
