[Video] ‘Dying Light 2’ Score Takes Focus Once Again in New Documentary
Techland are keeping busy with dropping more behind-the-scenes production videos for Dying Light 2. The latest video goes back to Olivier Derivière and the score for the upcoming game, this time detailing how the game’s soundtrack was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, as well as how the music will respond to player choices.
The documentary, “Sounds of the Dying City,” reveals how the score was created in sync with the game, plus Derivière’s inspiration and goals for the score itself. And, given the current climate, the documentary also touches upon aspects of the soundtrack recording, such as the non-standard recording process used in response to the global pandemic.
And as mentioned, the soundtrack will adapt “organically” in response to player choices and actions, depending on if you go in loud, or prefer to stick to the shadows.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human launches February 4, 2022 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch. Pre-orders are now available, and come with an exclusive digital Reload Pack, featuring a unique outfit, weapon, and paraglider skin.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
