The Gamescom 2021 Xbox event has started with the new trailer for Dying Light 2, the long-awaited sequel to Techland’s title. This new installment will take us 20 years after the zombie collapse of Harran and will take place in The City, one of the last human settlements. Although the little civilization that remains there is also about to fall, there is still hope. Our mission will be to change the destiny of The City. But the exceptional skills we have will not be free. Embodying this new protagonist, we must discover why we have memories that do not stop haunting us, while we discover the reason for our power, we choose sides and, in doing so, we forge our destiny. However, whatever we do, we must not forget the most important thing: to remain human.
This is the new trailer for Dying Light 2 that opens the Xbox event at Gamescom 2021:
As the Techland team commented during the event, Dying Light 2 promises to be more ambitious than the first installment. Everything indicates that The City will be much vaster than Harran and that the story will be deeper. This new protagonist will also have more skills than Crane, including being able to handle a paraglider. Also, in view of the latest videos, it is clear that Dying Light 2 will give more importance to parkour and the physical abilities of our character.
Humans, unlike the first installment, will gain more importance in the plot. It is very likely that we will have to act as a mediator between the parties that we meet and that, when the time comes, we will have to choose. But Dying Light 2 would be nothing without its zombies and Techland promises to offer us a greater variety of them, making our adventure through The City a whole hell.
