[Trailer] With the Launch Trailer Released, ‘Dying Light 2’ Is Out Now on Consoles and PC
The day’s finally here for Dying Light 2 fans. With the game finally out in the wild for everyone (save for the Nintendo Switch), Techland has released the launch trailer for their follow-up to the 2015 original.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human centers on the aftermath of the original game, where the original zombie outbreak in Harran ended with the death of all of the city’s citizens. However, the Global Relief Effort (GRE) is able to develop a vaccine for the outbreak, ending the threat of the zombie pandemic. However, as these things go, the GRE continued experimenting on the virus in secret. Eventually, a mutated variant of the virus escapes a GRE lab and starts a second pandemic that infects the entire world in an event called “The Fall”.
15 years later, human civilization is now a handful of scattered human settlements, with the city of Villedor being the last known remaining city on Earth. Thanks to its quarantine walls, Villedor was spared the worst of the pandemic. However, several factions continue to vie for control of the city. You are Aiden Caldwall, who has been travelling between human settlements in search of his lost sister, Mia. Aiden decides to make the journey to Villedor in order to continue his search.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human is out now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series. The Switch version of Dying Light 2 is expected later this year. While you’re waiting for the download to finish, check out Neil’s take on the game.
Path Games provided an update for its in-development underwater haunted house title Dark Mass, revealing that the game will receive a physical release for PlayStation 5 as both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition. The reveal also coincides with a new trailer that delves into the gameplay.
Dark Mass sees players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who, alongside her brother Reed, stumbles upon the wreckage of an ancient ship. But beneath the ship lies they discover a manor lost to time, eerily untouched despite spending centuries in the ocean.
Alice decides to venture inside, but she soon realises that something is watching from the darkness, bound to the manor by a dark curse. Trapped within the manor’s decaying halls, Alice must now uncover the manor’s tragic past, solve puzzles based on real historical torture rituals, and make decisions that will ultimately define her fate.
Both the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition will be published by SelectaPlay, with the Collector’s Edition having been designed “for horror fans and collectors,” bringing together a selection of physical items inspired by Alice’s journey, the mystery of the sunken manor and the unsettling atmosphere of the abyss.
The Standard Edition includes a physical copy of the game, along with an illustrated manual. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition includes the physical copy and manual, along with the following:
- Collector’s Box
- Official Art Book
- Lenticular postcard
- Alice’s turtle bracelet
- Original Soundtrack in Digipack format
- Exclusive Steelbook
In addition to the PlayStation 5, Dark Mass will be coming to the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The game is currently aiming for a fall 2026 release.
