Techland Hints That ‘Dying Light 2’ Will Be Arriving Next Year
Ever since Techland announced a delay back in January for the release of Dying Light 2, we’ve been as curious as you are with regards to the game’s status. There have been hints along the way, and while the latest one isn’t a definitive date (nor is it official), it certainly makes the case for the game coming soon.
Posted to the official Dying Light 2 Reddit was a screencap of the official Discord server for the upcoming game, which read: “We’ve been, er, dying to update you all on how development has been going. We’ll have fresh updates about Dying Light 2 coming in the new year!”
Again, nothing official, but it at least confirms that we’ll be seeing the follow-up to the 2015 hit (which is currently enjoying a 66% discount during Steam’s Winter Sale) in the new year.
Dying Light 2 is currently being released for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
