Evolve isn’t even out yet and it’s already starting a trend of 4v1 competitive multiplayer modes, which are now being seen in games like Shadow Realms and now it looks like Dying Light will be getting something similar. A new multiplayer mode was revealed at Gamescom today that sounds a bit like the Agent Hunt mode in Resident Evil 6. In it, a team of four survivors are pit against a nearly unkillable player-controlled Hunter — those guys with the frakked up jaws that look like the anti-vampire vampires in Blade II.
I compare this to the Agent Hunt mode because this stranger can join your regular co-op game at any time. This means you may want to stick together when playing Dying Light online, lest you get picked off one by one by a player-controlled baddie. I’m guessing it will optional, something you can opt out of if you’d rather just play with some friends, but this definitely adds an element of suspense to the game if you choose to open your world up to intrusion.
Below is the new Gamescom trailer, in case you missed it.
Dying Light releases in February 2015 for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
