Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Jeder Skill ein Game

As you know, Dying Light 2 Stay Human was originally postponed from December 2021 to February 2022 to have more time for the finishing touch of the game, according to Lead Designer Tymon Smektala by Techland. In conversation with the EDGE magazine, he said that the extra two months will be spent to check everything in the game double and to fix as many problems as possible.

We check everything in the game twice. Dying Light 2 is full of complex, interlocking systems developed by hundreds of people - at a certain point in production they start working together, but you also start to discover different borderline cases in which that may not be the case , And you want to fix that. As a rule, these are simple troubleshootings, but they need to make sure they test and fix so many of these errors as possible. We will use the extra two months exactly. And maybe we will also install one or two Easter Eggs.

It s about having a little more runway or that the tower maybe suggest another approach to make the landing cleaner. You have to think about the crew as well as the passengers, you know.

Among the various skills that protagonist Aiden Caldwell will notice Smectala that each of them will be a game-chantity and the players can try out enemies immediately .

It is very difficult to develop a continuation to a game with this type of performance curve. It has already spent 50, 100, 200 hours to improve his skills, and now you have to make the same from scratch again. In the original, some skills were just filling material that could improve the attributes. In Dying Light 2, each skill is a turning point in the game. Almost every skill gives you a new ability you can try out enemies immediately.

As for the improvements of existing mechanics, such as the Enterhaken, this is a more realistic physics compared to the original.

In Dying Light 2 he is more like the rope of Tarzan. It is used to swing things on things, and he is physical. The most fun is when you make a parkour and sees a big gap in front of yourself, but maybe there is something you can attach to his companion, so you can swing on the other side of the gap and then continue the parkour

We understood the tool from the beginning and tries to find a formula that allows us to maintain it, but also better support the gameplay instead of overriding it.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human appears on February 4, 2022 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
