Developer Techland has been quiet for some time about the progress of Dying Light 2, with some fans nearly giving up hope on seeing the series make it to a full-fledged sequel. However, some recent comments by the developer might indicate that 2021 might be a big year for Dying Light, possibly with news of the upcoming title finally coming throughout the year.
This has come in the form of a number of tweets and replies from the Dying Light Twitter account, which still has a large red number 2 as its icon, continuing to indicate that the sequel is on the way. The new comments themselves aren't exactly specific either, not giving much of a timeframe for the next year of content updates, or what players can expect for Dying Light 2.
The first sign that the Dying Light Twitter gave to fans is through a tweet sharing a picture telling players to "Get ready for 2021," alongside a caption that tells players to keep their heads up. Additionally, the account also commented on some of the replies to the initial tweet, claiming that there will be announcements coming this year. There is still little information to go on for how Dying Light 2's development is going, with most of Techland's recent announcements being contained to Dying Light's online modes updates.
In addition to the teases for new Dying Light 2 updates coming soon, the developer has also been hinting that fans who want to get the best insights on how development is going should join the official Discord. This isn't an uncommon way for developers like Techland to interact with their fanbase and keep a steady stream of both feedback and updates coming in a concise form that allows for mutual communication. So, the next major updates may be coming through that Discord before the official announcements start coming out through the more general forms of outreach like Twitter.
Techland is really walking a tightrope with the recent teases for Dying Light 2 news coming in 2021, which may or may not pay off if it takes too long for the announcements to finally arrive. Fans may want to keep their ear to the ground on this one in the coming months, as it's likely that at the very least another tease will be coming in soon. However, a full announcement or gameplay preview will likely be waiting until the next major gaming convention in 2021, likely still with a virtual premier.
Dying Light 2 is currently in development by Techland.
