Dying Light 2 fans will unfortunately have to wait until the new year to get their hands on the game. Developer Techland has announced that the open world zombie epic has been pushed back from its original December 7th release date to February 4th, 2022.
In a statement to fans (which you can read below), Techland CEO Pawel Marchewka explains that while the games is “steadily progressing” and heading towards the proverbial finish line, much like many games this year, the need to polish and optimize the game in order to deliver what fans expect is paramount.
“We are sorry to keep you all waiting a little longer, but we want the game to meet your highest expectations on release and we don’t want to compromise on this,” explains Marchewka.
However, Marchewka does offer a consolation in the form of having early previews of the game for select individuals, as well as sharing some “exciting news” about Dying Light 2 later this month.
Dying Light 2 is in development for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
