![]() The demo kicks off in a crowded, atmospheric bar, where Aiden receives a mission to infiltrate the Castle, a water plant that has been turned into a fortress/medieval fiefdom by a local warlord known as the Colonel. I can’t say that Aiden stood out as particularly memorable, but it’s pretty clear Techland’s real focus is on Dying Light 2’s complex world. He’s been infected by the zombie virus, but otherwise, seems to be your typical square-jawed video game hero. The E3 2019 Dying Light 2 demo properly introduces players to the game’s protagonist, Aiden Caldwell. Cyberpunk 2077 was the most impressive demo I had a chance to see at E3 2019, but Dying Light 2 was a surprisingly-close second. The game is an eye-popping visual showcase and the parkour-infused action is as intense as ever, but it’s the player-choice driven story (overseen by Fallout and Baldur’s Gate veteran Chris Avellone) that really impressed me. The 2018 version of Dying Light 2 looked to be a solid step forward for Techland’s franchise, but what I saw this year, was truly impressive. Not that what I saw at last year’s E3 was lacking in any way. If vehicles are mentioned enough, they’ll probably be added somehow.If Wccftech had named a “Most Improved Game” in our E3 2019 Awards, it would almost certainly have gone to Dying Light 2. Based on that, they’ll create DLC for years to come that will feed into what players are asking for. That’s why they’re waiting to see what the feedback on the game is once it’s out in our hands. They can’t put it all in the game at launch though. Techland must have a plan for stuff they want to add in the future. I do want to add that I think vehicles could be an interesting addition in a later update, as they were with Dying Light The Following. ![]() It makes the world feel so much more believable. Everyone is inside the cities, using the rooftops to get away from the infected and create a living where, hopefully, no infected can reach them. We’re not spread out across vast swathes of countryside. You probably also won’t be driving for long, since fuel has much better uses than running a car.ĭying Light 2 sees people huddled together to survive. ![]() Decades into the post-apocalypse, this means that vehicles are probably only going to be used to get through an area without anyone attacking you. Sure, you can fix them to a degree, but unless you have access to brand new parts, a vehicle can only be patched up so many times. It’s the same as the situation with firearms. Those that do must be rich or dangerous or working for someone who is. ![]() I don’t see too many people having access to one. The world of Dying Light 2 is so far gone that everything from the modern-day is rare. This feels slightly odd given that vehicles are a core part of at least half of the first game, but given the game world of Dying Light 2, it certainly seems to fit with the themes and narrative. However, this is the only instance of the character driving a vehicle, and it won’t be possible in the base game of Dying Light 2 at all. In the only real gameplay demo we’ve had, which was shown years ago now, the mission shows the protagonist driving. Up until last week, some players believed that we’d be able to pick up and drive vehicles in Dying Light 2.
