Switch Version of ‘Dying Light 2’ Delayed From Next Month’s Launch
Unfortunately for Dying Light 2 fans, they’ll have to endure another delay. However, this time it’s for those who were looking to snag the game on the Nintendo Switch.
Per IGN, developer Techland has announced that the Switch version of Dying Light 2, which uses a cloud-based streaming system, has been pushed back from next month’s release date. The other consoles and PC versions are not affected by the delay.
As for the reasoning behind the delay, Techland states that they delayed the game to provide Switch players “with the gaming experience at the level they deserve.” Techland is now aiming to release the Switch version “within six months” of the original February release date, putting the Switch version’s release in August.
This latest delay comes after Dying Light 2 was originally pushed from its original Spring 2020 release, and again from a December 7th, 2021 release.
Dying Light 2 will arrive February 4 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
In the meantime, Techland and Sony have released a new video comparing the different graphical modes for the PlayStation 5.

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
