We’ve finally got the much-awaited gameplay trailer ofDying Light 2,along with a concrete release date. Interestingly, the pre-orders for the game have already begun.

Developed and published by Techland,Dying Light 2: Stay Humanis an upcoming action role-playing game. The game will come out for Microsoft Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Now that we’ve finally seen what the game actually looks like, here’s everything you should know about the multiplayer and co-op features inDying Light 2.

Dying Light 2 Co-Op and Multiplayer

Techland confirmed thatDying Light 2would offer a 2-4 player Co-op gameplay. So, you could very well enjoy the game with your friends as soon as it arrives.

However,Dying Light 2’sCo-op feature will be different from 2015’s original game. That’s because, in the sequel, one out of four players in the multiplayer gameplay will be a host. So, you can host your own games and invite your friends; or you could join other players' sessions.

We already know that a player’s action inDying Light 2will affect the story, but how will that work in multiplayer? Well, in multiplayer gameplay, only the host’s action will have consequences. Meaning, by joining your friends' sessions, you would see how their choices have affected the game differently than yours.

In an interview withPCGamesN, Malgorzata Mitrega confirmed that players entering a game would still have progression. However, if your friend took a different path, you may not have access to all the weapons in your host’s game.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human Release Date

Techland confirmed thatDying Light 2 Stay Humanwould come out on December 7th, 2021.

Initially, the game was supposed to release in 2020; however, it was delayed indefinitely. But fortunately, we’ll finally get to play the game by the end of 2021.
