Techland promises to support Dying Light 2: Stay Human for over five years

Dying Light 2: Stay Human's system requirements got a lot of flak for its unrealistic hardware demands. Interestingly enough, Techland never bothered to update them, and the only way to find out if they hold any water is to play the game on its February 4 launch date. The developers have posted a detailed roadmap on Twitter detailing what Dying Light 2: Stay Human will have in store for us after launch.

Techland promises that it will support the game for over five years. Following Dying Light 2: Stay Human's launch, it will get the Factions-inspired free DLC within a month, followed by a set of timed in-game challenges in March, new enemies in April and the second set of challenges in May. A story-driven DLC campaign will be available in June, likely to be purchased separately.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human will get a second story-driven DLC somewhere down the line with a steady top-up of new enemies, game modes, weapons, stories, and more. A five-year commitment to a game is practically unheard of in the current year, but not for Techland. The original Dying Light (launched in 2015) still gets new content to date, nearly seven years after it dropped, although it will probably be the last one.

Review embargoes for Dying Light 2: Stay Human drop on February 2, 2022, so one has two days to commit to a pre-order. Given the state in which some modern-day games launch, one would be better off waiting a month or two before making a purchase, especially when a game demands a GeForce RTX 3080 for a 1080p 60 FPS experience with raytracing enabled. Then again, Techland is one of the few studios we can trust to deliver a fully-functional game at launch.
