Dying Light 2 is a first-person open-world action game in which we traverse a city overrun by zombies. The production is a sequel to the blockbuster Call of Juarez series shooters, among others.

Plot

Dying Light 2 is set twenty years after the end of the first part, in 2034. It tells a new story and knowledge of the plot of the first part is not required to understand the sequel's story. After the zombie outbreak in the city of Harran was brought under control, government and corporate scientists began researching the mutant strain of rabies that caused the tragedy. They sought commercial and military uses for it for profit. However, the pursuit of money leads to disaster, and in late 2021, the virus escapes from a Geneva research lab. The extremely contagious disease leads to a global pandemic, anarchy and the collapse of civilization. Within two years, almost the entire population of Earth is infected. There are only a few settlements left in the world and one city - Villedor, where the game takes place.
