Play Overview
Dying Light is a pair of role play survival games set in a zombie infested city. Following in the line of Dead Island and Call of Juarez, you explore a dynamic open city, scaling buildings and hunting for rescues. Combat is not only gory but punishing on equipment. You must use the environment paired with various weapon types and abilities to stay alive.
Dying Light 2 Stay Alive is set twenty years ago as the city falls. It's the last large human settlement but torn by conflict within and with the zombies. Your hope is to save the city, as you hone your skills and slowly start to defeat enemies and make allies. As you progress you are haunted by memories and dark secrets behind the wielders of power. Your choices have consequences, particularly which side you will fight for?
You play the game on your own or online in up to four-player teams. This can be on your own private city or one where other people can join and affect how things play out. As well as the combat and strategy, there's a huge world to explore. You can participate in the life of a city engulfed in a new dark era. Discover hidden passages as you explore its multiple levels and locations.
As day passes into night you need to decide the best time to venture into dark hideouts of the Infected. Sunlight keeps them at bay, but once it’s gone, monsters begin the hunt, leaving their lairs free to explore. Again, how you approach this will shape the future of The City and the balance of power.

The result is a game that is not only shocking and violent but one that lets you experience the dramatic shift in the world, as you come to terms with your own past and hope to forge a less violent future.
