All week at E3 we’ve had journalists from all over the world paying us a visit to check out Dying Light 2. We’ve been honored by the positive response and the 40+ awards and nominations received.
Shortly after we debuted our brand new trailer we had an exclusive interview with Lead Designer Tymon Smektała:

"The big buzz-phrase during Dying Light 2’s extremely impressive E3 demo was “narrative sandbox.”. . . As long as there’s the requisite depth in character, and that branching story goes to some fascinating places, I imagine Dying Light 2 will have plenty of longevity with the sheer amount of content to uncover."

"Watching all of this play out gave me a similar feeling to engaging with a classic role-playing game like Baldur’s Gate or the Fallout series, where minor encounters or critical decisions can irrevocably alter the flow of the story."

"Plenty of developers say you’ll have an impact on their game, but few truly deliver. Dying Light 2 is melding story and mechanics in ways I’ve rarely (if ever) seen. . . . Open worlds have been static backdrops for almost two console generations. It’s exciting to see someone finally do something with one of these sprawling maps."
