Dying Light 2?now officially known as Dying Light 2: Stay Human?is set to be released later this year on December 7. It was also confirmed to be getting next-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X versions as well, rather than players needing to use backwards compatibility. Revealed during today’s Dying Light 2 live stream, the broadcast also highlighted more story details than we’ve previously seen. 20 years after the events in Dying Light, Dying Light 2′s new city of Villedor is the last bastion of humanity.
Players will take on the role of Aiden Caldwell. Story choices will shape Aiden as they search for someone from their past.

You’ll be able to play with three other people in four-player co-op, which will also let you visit other players’ versions of Villedor to see how they differ from your own.
