Good Night – Night changes

The day and night cycle has always been a fundamental element in the Dying Light series, introducing both visual and, more importantly, gameplay changes to our zombie-infested world. In this update, we aimed to enhance the nighttime aspect of this unique feature by introducing heightened tension, horror, and the presence of roaming Volatiles. To achieve this, we are implementing a series of modifications,

• Ensuring that the night has a heavy, almost horror-like feel.• A new color grading called “Darker Nights” reduces player visibility exponentially, making your experience more terrifying.• Updated flashlight rendering that creates more dynamic shadows and better corresponds to the darker environment.• Improved audio gameplay solidifies the nocturnal atmosphere. Music takes a backseat to sound effects.• HUD improvements support an immersive nighttime experience.• Volatiles roam across the rooftops, ensuring you will never feel safe at night.• The night population of zombies have been reworked to create more unexpected moments while exploring both streets and building interiors• Chase sequences are less arcade-like and more unpredictable.

Good Luck – Parkour changes

With the initial release of Dying Light 2, we managed to make the complex mechanics of parkour accessible to all players. However, we cannot ignore the voices of real traceurs like you, who desire fewer assists, more physicality, better control, and less hand-holding. In response, we have introduced a new set of parkour settings called ‘Physical’ specifically designed to cater to seasoned veterans of Dying Light 1 and new Pilgrims who want to experience the real deal when traversing The City.

• Several animations have been improved to reduce floatiness.• Personalize your sprinting experience with the option to switch between auto and manual mode, giving you complete control over how you sprint in the game.• Keep your momentum while performing a series of parkour moves.• Regain air control in mid-flight, allowing for reactive maneuvers.• Added variety of vault animations.• Tweaked afterboost mechanics now allow for its use after a number of parkour moves, with improved responsiveness and a balanced duration and cooldown.• Accelerate down ziplines and during pipe slides for a thrilling descent.• Bid farewell to ghost walking; wall run and roll animations halt when reaching the end of a surface.• Enjoy smoother wall running with improved starting animations.• Improved jumping, active landing, and balancing animations.• Elevator and landing bags animations are sped-up.• The active landing skill can be performed while paragliding – safety landings!• Head-bob animation is adjustable in the settings, allowing players to increase camera movement while running. A new default value is set to 50.• Car safety landing animation duration shortened, and VFX feedback improved.• We’ve refined gameplay mechanics for the following skills, enhancing their overall feeling: Slide Jump, Bash, Crown Runner, Sleek Runner.

On top of those changes, we are introducing improved parkour actions and animations, and two main options that you can pick. To change between those, head to the Game sub-menu in Options.

• Assisted Parkour: Perfect for beginners, maintaining the original Dying Light 2 experience.• Physical Parkour: Enable this setting for a grounded, physical, and intense journey. A more grounded and ruthless experience. The ability to disable “jump magnets” for more authentic gameplay.

As a cherry-on-top, we’re introducing the ability to slide down billboards with a knife, giving you more immersive gameplay.

Mod.io in-game integration

Parkour across a multiverse of possibilities with a new section in the main menu – Community Maps! PC players can delve into a treasure trove of custom maps crafted by fellow Pilgrims using our Developer Tools. This is just the first step, and we plan to further develop this feature in the future. Expand your horizons within the vast world of Dying Light!

Before diving into the immersive world of Community Maps, please keep the following in mind:

• Each map is a standalone experience, separate from the main campaign and its progression.• Custom maps must be completed in a single playthrough, as progress cannot be saved.• Presently, co-op integration is not available for Community Maps.• Currently, “script” mods that modify gameplay are not supported.

For the time being, Community Maps feature is available only on PC. Mod.io integration for PlayStation, Xbox, and Steamdeck is set to arrive on these platforms later this year!

Dying Light 2 Gameplay

Dying Light 2: Stay Human offers a thrilling action role-playing experience set in a zombie-infested open world. Taking place 22 years after the events of the first game, players assume the role of Aiden Caldwell, a new protagonist equipped with impressive parkour skills. Aiden can seamlessly navigate the city by performing dynamic actions such as climbing ledges, sliding, leaping off edges, and even wall running, resulting in fluid and agile movement.

In addition to parkour, Aiden can utilize various tools like a grappling hook and a paraglider to aid in traversal. Notably, Aiden can even use the undead as a cushion to break his fall. Combat in Dying Light 2 is primarily melee-based, with players relying on a wide array of melee weapons to fend off enemies. These weapons have a limited lifespan and will degrade over time with use.

Alongside melee weapons, players can also employ long-range options such as crossbows, shotguns, and spears. Upgrading weapons is possible by using blueprints and components obtained from breaking down other weapons. Aiden possesses superhuman abilities due to the infection, adding an extra layer of strategic options during combat encounters.

The game is set in the sprawling city of Villedor, a massive urban environment in Europe that offers players the freedom to explore. This map is four times larger than its predecessor and consists of seven distinct regions, each boasting its own landmarks and locations. While exploring Villedor, players scavenge for scrap and resources to craft new items and weapons. Additionally, players can activate windmills to attract survivors and merchants, leading to the establishment of settlements.

The city holds inhibitors that can enhance Aiden’s health or stamina, incentivizing exploration. Throughout the game, players encounter different factions and must make impactful decisions that shape the world and influence how non-playable characters perceive Aiden. These choices have far-reaching consequences, potentially bringing prosperity to one faction while completely decimating another settlement.

Some decisions may unlock or seal off certain areas within the city, encouraging multiple playthroughs to explore different outcomes. Furthermore, Dying Light 2 features a four-player cooperative multiplayer, allowing friends to join forces and tackle the challenges of the post-apocalyptic world together.
