And that, "we announced the game too early" in reference to the 2018 reveal -- and that the project is not in "development hell". Based on its initial reveal, the ambitious Dying Light 2 was initially due for release in 2020 with a large 26-minute slice of gameplay showcased in 2019. Since then rumours and reports of studio troubles and development issues have emerged with Techland responding that progress on the game has been steady.

On that note we wont have to wait long to get our next glimpse or update on the game, with "a few words to share with you about the Dying Light 2 development process" coming this week.

Dying Light 2 is still up there in terms of our most anticipated releases, something that hearkens back to that initial reveal where we got to see it in person and speak in-depth with the team at Techland. In terms of when the game, for a lack of a better term, see the light -- that remains to be seen. We wouldn't be surprised if its targeting a 2022 release window, though naturally we'd love to play it sooner rather than later. The good news there is that the studio is committed to releasing the game when its polished, ready, and complete.

Dying Light 2 is currently in development for PC and consoles, and with the PC version already featuring real-time ray-tracing powered by NVIDIA GeForce RTX hardware its safe to assume that at this point it will also take full advantage of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
