First announced almost three years ago during Microsoft’s E3 2018 press conference, Dying Light 2<\/em><\/strong> was delayed indefinitely in January\u00a02020 and there have been\u00a0few further updates on the game’s development since. The announcement came as a major shock to many fans given how promising the game’s E3 2019 demo looked, as well as the ongoing post-launch support\u00a0Dying Light<\/em>\u00a0that is still\u00a0happening to this day. Dying Light 2<\/em><\/a>‘s\u00a0delay also came before the real impact of Covid-19 was felt, meaning something else was going on behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

In recent months, TheGamer released a report detailing a\u00a0hostile working environment at\u00a0Dying Light 2<\/em> developer Techland<\/a>:\u00a0Key issues\u00a0stemmed from the lack of any real production pipeline and suppressed creativity, as Techland\u00a0CEO Pawel Marchewka allegedly won’t try something that he hasn’t seen working in another game. Whatever is going on behind the scenes at Techland, one thing is clear.\u00a0Dying Light 2<\/em> has gone through its fair share of development issues, and it’s possible the highly-ambitious game won’t be able to live up to its many promises.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest criticisms of the original Dying Light<\/em> was the game’s story, which critics described as generic, predictable, and full of cliches. From the announcement of Dying Light 2<\/em><\/a>, Techland has\u00a0consistently emphasized that the sequel will have a much larger focus on narrative: Taking place a full fifteen years after the original and starring a brand new protagonist – Aiden Caldwell.<\/p>\n

Nearly three years after it’s announcement, Dying Light 2<\/em> has lost two Narrative Designer’s in Chris Avellone and\u00a0Pawe\u0142 Selinger. Given the original game’s story was re-written entirely before launch, it’s possible\u00a0Dying Light 2<\/em>‘s story has already seen significant changes since the last time the game was shown.<\/p>\n
