Polish studio Techland talked to the resource WCCFTech and shared a whole wave of details of the upcoming zombie action Dying light 2created for console systems and PCs.
- At the heart of the technological foundation of Dying Light 2 is the modified C-Engine. The Techland team calls the key features of the new toolkit good support for new-generation consoles, ray tracing, as well as various technical features, such as a redesigned animation system and new artificial intelligence algorithms.
- In the locations of Dying Light 2, you can find more infected than in the original game. At the same time, the patterns of their behavior became more complex – all thanks to the above-mentioned artificial intelligence system.
- The transition to the new engine was a real challenge for the Techland team. However, the developers made the decision to use new tools at an early stage of production – otherwise it would be simply impossible to implement everything conceived in Dying Light 2.
- According to current plans, the ray tracing technology in Dying Light 2 will be used to create realistic shadows as well as reflections, for example, in situations where the protagonist uses his flashlight.
- In the case of console systems, Techland specialists gave the main priority to old platforms – the developers are doing their best to ensure that Dying Light 2 has a good picture and performance on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
- In turn, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S versions of Dying Light 2, Techland engineers have planned two separate modes – a graphics priority option (supporting ray tracing) and a performance priority option (60 frames per second at 4K- resolution).
- The key features of the open world in Dying Light 2 promise to be two elements. Firstly, the game map will offer very vertical locations – the hero will be able to climb various buildings and obstacles, which together with the first-person perspective will play very well for immersion in the atmosphere. The second point is the narrative features of the game, where, depending on the decisions you make, certain levels can change dramatically.
- While moving around locations in Dying Light 2, players will also encounter various situations generated at random, in the spirit of Red Dead Redemption.
- Now Techland is in no hurry to reveal the plot details of Dying Light 2, however, it admits that the protagonist Aiden Caldwell has his own motivation – the hero arrives in the City in search of someone (or something), along the way being drawn into a variety of events.
- In some of the story missions of Dying Light 2, the protagonist will be assisted by other characters. Sometimes this is due to the plot context, and sometimes it happens spontaneously. At the same time, there is no separate system of “companions” in the project now. Nevertheless, the developers like this idea – perhaps it will be implemented in one of the future additions.
- Dying Light 2’s story campaign can take about 20 hours to complete if you play at a very fast pace. If you want to pay attention to all the secondary content, and play slower, then the above 20 hours can be safely multiplied by 2-3 times.
- Those users who are worried about the situation inside Techland amid numerous rumors, Polish developers ask to calm down. There is indeed a staff turnover in the team, but as representatives of Techland note, this is a completely normal process, someone leaves, but at the same time someone comes, which allows the studio not to stand still and develop further.
- Techland plans to tell more about Dying Light 2 “soon”. The studio understands how fans are waiting for the project, but is not ready to make any compromises on the quality of the game. Accordingly, the authors will begin to demonstrate the project only when they are sure of its unconditional readiness.
Recall that the premiere Dying light 2 was supposed to take place last year. Now it is expected until the end of 2023.
