Dying Light 2 will have updates and new content for five years

If 500 hours of Dying Light 2 somehow doesn’t sound like enough to sink your teeth into, rest assured there’s more where that came from. Techland Games, the studio behind the Dying Light series, now says they are “committed” to five years of game support for Dying Light 2: Stay Human after its February 4 release.

The announcement was made by Techland Games’ influencer lead, Sheri Kryeziu, who shared the news via Twitter earlier this morning. According to Kryeziu, fans can expect Dying Light 2 to have “more story DLCs, more events, more locations” and “more in-game items” over the next five years. He went on to write this commitment to keep the game fresh and “putting gamers first” was “one of the main reasons” he joined the studio.

This ambitious announcement follows Techland Games’ shocking revelation that players will need “at least 500 hours” to complete Dying Light 2 – a claim that shocked the gaming community when it hit Twitter on January 8. However, Techland has since fleshed out its statement, explaining “500 hours is related to maximizing the game – completing all missions, endings and exploring every part of the world.” The studio then added a “regular player” who should complete the story, side missions, and quite a bit of exploration in under 100 hours.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human, the sequel to 2015’s Dying Light, is set in a post-apocalyptic world where players must outsmart the living dead as they struggle to stay alive. Dying Light 2 launches on February 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and will also be available via the cloud for Nintendo Switch. The game is also coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
