Dying Light 2 has been delayed until…sometime in the future. Originally planned for a Spring 2020 release the game now has no release date. It is yet another big game that has been delayed in recent weeks.
In a letter announcing the delay, Techland CEO Paweł Marchewka explained the game needed more development time and that they would have more info in the coming months.

Dying Light 2 joins a growing list of games that have been delayed recently which includes the Final Fantasy 7 remake, The Avengers and Cyberpunk 2077. Odds are high that this isn’t the last big game to see a delay.
While delays can sometimes help developers improve games, they can also lead to more crunch time.
Everyone trying to push their games back to launch with the new consoles?
*sigh*
Just don’t join the ranks of Dead Island 2’s ‘out one day’ estimate a’ight?
I think Dying Light is a lot more important to Techland than Dead Island is to THQ Nordic. They probably can’t afford to scrap the project at this point.
Indeed, it’ll come out, I’m just disappointed. But I’d rather, as the saying goes, have them take the time to get it right, rather than rush to release it ala Bethesda…
eh dead island 2 was only announced because deep silver was shitty that techland left them. it was basically a repeat of of Codemasters getting pissy about Bohemia Interactive leaving them.
Yeah, but they literally had playable demos of it, then it upped and disappeared. So eh.
At least now I can complete the first Dying Light that’s been sitting untouched in my steam library.
Small victories 🙂
seems like 2020 might be remembered as the year of delays if this keeps up. well whether this is ultimately a good or bad this is yet to be determined.
