Dying Light dropped us into a zombie-filled wasteland and proved to be a great experience with its mixture of fun parkour and genuine horror.
Its sequel, Dying light 2, takes a slightly different approach to just mowing down the undead. As a powerful inhabitant of humanity’s last great settlement, Dying Light 2 sees you not only battle the infected but also make tough decisions about the future of the city.
Dying Light 2 has suffered numerous delays since its announcement at E3 in 2018, when it was originally set for a spring 2020 launch.
But here’s the good news – Dying Light 2 will make an appearance at The Game Awards 2021 tonight (Thursday 9th December 2021), and it’s likely there’ll be a gameplay trailer to get fans all geared up ahead of the release.
So, for all we know about Dying Light 2, including when it’s coming out in 2022, here’s the lowdown.
When is the Dying Light 2 release date?
The Dying Light 2 release date is set for 4th February 2022.
The game has already been delayed a couple of times, so here’s hoping that this is the final release date we need to report on! Fingers remain crossed on that front.

“You are a wanderer with the power to change the fate of The City. But your exceptional abilities come at a price. Haunted by memories you cannot decipher, you set out to learn the truth… and find yourself in a combat zone. Hone your skills, as to defeat your enemies and make allies, you’ll need both fists and wits. Unravel the dark secrets behind the wielders of power, choose sides and decide your destiny. But wherever your actions take you, there’s one thing you can never forget—stay human.”
