What is Dying Light (Series)?

Dying Light is an action role-playing survival horror video game series developed by Polish video game developer Techland and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The series currently consists of two main games: Dying Light, released in 2015, and its sequel Dying Light 2 Stay Human, released in 2022.

The Dying Light games are set in a fictional world devastated by a zombie apocalypse. The first game takes place in the quarantined city of Harran, while the second game takes place over 20 years later in The City, one of the last large human settlements. A key feature of the games is the dynamic day-night cycle which impacts zombie behavior and gameplay. During the day, the zombies are slow and sluggish, but become more active and aggressive at night.

A core gameplay element is the freedom of movement and parkour system that allows players to traverse the urban environment by jumping, climbing, and using ziplines. Combat is focused on brutal melee weapons like pipes, bats, and cleavers used to kill zombies. There is also a crafting system for creating and customizing weapons. The games can be played solo or in 4-player co-op multiplayer.

The Dying Light series stands out for its immersive open world, day-night cycle, melee combat mechanics and parkour movement system. The games provide tense zombie survival action focused on frenetic first-person gameplay in a bleak post-apocalyptic setting.
