Release dates in December are always a bit dodged; games always have the feeling that they will arrive or be delayed until March of the following year without any intermediaries. Dying Light 2, initially scheduled for December 7, 2021, falls into the latter category. Techland delayed the open world zombie title until February 4, 2022 starting this morning, citing the need for more time to optimize and polish the game.
The meat of the statement issued on Twitter It says, “The team is constantly moving forward with production and the game is approaching the goal. The game is complete and we are currently testing it. It is by far the biggest and most ambitious project we have ever done. Unfortunately, we we have realized that we are taking the game to the level we anticipated, we need more time to polish it and optimize it. “
It is the second official delay of Dying Light 2 after the game was postponed indefinitely in January 2020, which was reintroduced earlier this year. But to get the title to the fullest, Techland needs a few more months. This means the game will now be released very close to Elden Ring, Sifu, Saints Row and Horizon Forbidden West.
“We’re sorry everyone is waiting for you a little longer, but we want the game to meet your highest expectations at launch and we don’t want to make any commitments.” It looks like press and content creators will be able to play the game next month in a series of preview events.
