As Dying Light 2 aims to grow larger in the years ahead - like its long-supported predecessor - it will have to keep the title fresh based on player feedback.īased on the studio's history and Smektala's comments about Dying Light 2's 2023 roadmap, it appears that players should expect parkour to receive all-new traversal methods in a way that's similar to how other gameplay systems have been overhauled. It makes sense from a design perspective - parkour is one of the core features of the game and is intertwined with both movement and combat. During a developer interview, franchise director Tymon Smektala describes his hopes that the upcoming parkour update can reach the same level of quality as these recent additions. Just recently, Techland released the Gut Feeling update for Dying Light 2 which includes visceral zombie dismemberment along with new crafting options and encounters to help fill out the open world of Villedor.

With Dying Light 2, Techland focused on responsive gameplay and creative worldbuilding, giving the sequel a compelling identity among numerous other zombie settings seen in gaming. Over time, Techland has committed itself to improve Dying Light 2 with post-launch content updates, and the 2023 roadmap seems to have some big changes in store for fans.ĭying Light's brand of fast-paced action is relatively unique, so even when the story isn't as engrossing as the best open-world RPGs, its presentation more than makes up for those shortcomings. Dying Light 2, first released in 2022, was a sequel that brought back many headlining features from the original - including impactful, first-person melee combat as well as a new version of its parkour movement system. Distinguishing itself from most open-world games, Techland's Dying Light series offers players the chance to train their acrobatic skills by leaping across the ruins of a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested world.
