‘Dying Light 2’ Delayed to February 4, 2022
Dying Light 2 fans will unfortunately have to wait until the new year to get their hands on the game. Developer Techland has announced that the open world zombie epic has been pushed back from its original December 7th release date to February 4th, 2022.
In a statement to fans (which you can read below), Techland CEO Pawel Marchewka explains that while the games is “steadily progressing” and heading towards the proverbial finish line, much like many games this year, the need to polish and optimize the game in order to deliver what fans expect is paramount.
“We are sorry to keep you all waiting a little longer, but we want the game to meet your highest expectations on release and we don’t want to compromise on this,” explains Marchewka.
However, Marchewka does offer a consolation in the form of having early previews of the game for select individuals, as well as sharing some “exciting news” about Dying Light 2 later this month.
Dying Light 2 is in development for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
