Techland‘s game might be getting a subtitle, and until then, Tymon Smektala, the lead designer, has revealed more details.

Let’s start with the new title: the Polish company has filed a trademark for Dying Light 2 Stay Human at USPTO. If it’s not for the game, then it might be used for something like a comic book, an animated movie, or even a tie-in. As Techland didn’t talk about this name yet, we are merely guessing for now.

Techland also published a Q&A video, where Smektala answered a few questions. We’ll quote the new details about the decisions: „In Dying Light 2 you make decisions on three different levels. The top one is several main story choices, a few of which change how the story flows and what kind of ending you will get when you finish the whole experience.

The second level is choice and decisions you make inside side quests, or even main quests, that mostly have consequences within those quests or [they might] influence the world. An example of this is, in one of the quests you can save an opera singer. If you do that, she appears in one of the hubs and starts singing. Some people like it, some people don’t. The third level is the city alignment system where, based on your choices, one of the factions takes control over specific areas of the city. When they do that, they install their forces and a lot of different things that belong to that faction […] that you can use in gameplay,” Smektala said.

Dying Light 2 will have two main regions (Old Town; Downtown, the latter with skyscrapers), further divided into seven zones. Interestingly, Smektala seems to have gone back on Techland’s word about vehicles. Previously, the Poles said we’ll get to drive vehicles, but now, he said that they will be limited to a single mission.

Dying Light 2 (Stay Human?) will likely arrive this year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
