As Aiden Caldwell, you are an infected survivor with exceptional physical prowess in both combat and parkour agility. Other than that, Aiden possesses a unique ability that enables change to a decaying city under the player’s choices. Each choices player make will have consequences in a short and long run on narrative branches, enemies, gameplay flow and even its world setting.
Key infected features:
- Enter the brutal first-person combat
- Utilize grappling hooks not only for traversal purposes but also in combat
- Returning weapon mods and newly added range weapon
- Evolving infected, more sensitive to UV lights
- Use tools such as UV flashlights or UV flare to halt incoming zombies
- Newly added set of parkour moves to try out
- Smoother combat and parkour flows
- Excellent voice acting
- The city is an unforgiving place with lack of resources and power; mankind’s civilization is but a relic left behind with bandits by day and infected by night. Your choices will determine the process and ultimately it’s the outcome.
- Changes based on your choices will also determine future quests, region, narrative direction and new mechanics, increasing its replay value
Dying Light 2 is coming for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, this Spring 2020. For more info, stay tuned for more.
