Piotr Szymanek, narrative director for Dying Lite 2, explained what players can expect from the game'southward story.

He first offered a recap of the game's universe. It starts in the fictional heart eastern city of Harran where a virus breaks out. The virus turns people into zombie-similar creatures, not motivated by bloodlust, but instead pain and anger which causes them to become violent. The epidemic apace became a global pandemic, infecting the city in which Dying Light 2 takes place. The government tried to flop the city with chemicals, but that only fabricated the situation worse.

In the game, players will take on the role of Aiden Caldwell, who, as a child, was being used for medical research along with her sis Mia. Eventually, he was separated from his sister, taken out of the facility and out of the city while she stayed.

Aiden eventually finds a inkling every bit to where his sister might be, sending him on a journey to try and find her.

Beyond the trailer and an explanation past Szymanek, non much else was revealed. Luckily, last month Techland did bear witness off a gameplay reveal trailer which gave us a glimpse into what nosotros can expect.

Clearly, Aiden isn't a normal guy. Non only is he daring, willing to jump off buildings, simply has excellent parkour skills.

Aiden volition choose a faction to join, with each taking a different approach to survival. At dark, the monsters become far more aggressive, irresolute the how players must traverse. The game looks like Mirror'due south Border with zombies.

If Dying Calorie-free 2: Stay Homo impresses united states later this yr, in that location's a chance it can state on our all-time PC games list.
