Developer admits it announced sequel ‘a little early’
[Update: Techland’s March status update forDying Light 2showed a few gameplay snippets, an unnecessary Mean Tweets-style bit, and a notice to “stay tuned” with a “2021” closer – you good?
“This is a huge and complex project, and we needed time to ensure it will live up to our vision,” the team said in the video. “All of us here are putting our hearts into delivering a game that you will keep playing for months. We will be ready to start talking aboutDying Light 2very very soon.”
It’s tough to believe that release window will stick, but we’ll see.]
Techland is finally ready to offer new information on the development ofDying Light 2. The developer will release an update pertaining to the long-in-limbo sequel on Wednesday, March 17, giving patient fans a little more insight into the current state-of-play regarding the survival-horror release. The new info will be first announced via the officialDying LightDiscord channel.
In a follow-up to Techland’s update announcement on Twitter, the developer admitted thatit had jumped the gunonDying Light 2‘s reveal, which took place way back at E3 2018. However, Techland said that production has been continuously moving forward since the initial reveal, and as such the sequel was not in any form of “development hell.”
Originally announced for PS4, PC, and Xbox One,Dying Light 2was initially scheduled for launch in spring 2020, before being pushed back to an as-yet-undisclosed release date. Hopefully this week’s update will shed a little more (dying) light on the release, lest fans continue to consider the sequel dead and buried.
