We continue our video-ludic journey by a Polish game, Dying Light 2 developed by the Techland studio. Always expected on firm feet after some unfortunate postponements, the franchise has affirmed creative ambitions. While we had in the past had the opportunity to interview Tymon Smektala, lead game designer of the game, about the narrative, this one returns for the Gamescom 2021 with dedicated episodes videos, the opportunity to recall that the Dying Light 2 project is alive! The latest highlights the dynamic fighting system of the title. Covid forces, it is Tymon who leads the boat this time by questioning his team himself!
The "narrative sandbox" quesaco?
On the menu of this new episode, let us recall the topos: hordes of infected cross vampires, still unloved by the sunbathing, of the urban path that would not be denied by Mirrors Edge, a city torn by three rival factions and fighting to the first particularly violent person. The post-apocalyptic formula is now evolving towards the promise of « narrative sandbox » according to the formula dedicated by the developers. Each of your contributions to the various factions will necessarily serve others. Helping the peacekeepers will allow you to get clean water to regenerate yourself. Prioritizing their rivals and it will be cannabis fields and anarchy that will triumph in return. The rarity creating wealth, to you the bakchichs and pots of wines every liter water cleverly distributed to the thirsty of the neighborhood. Helping the third and final faction will allow you to reconstruct some of the city's bridges or structures in order to reach other areas otherwise inaccessible.
All these interventions in the universe of Dying Light lead to cosmetic changes, of course, but also narrative. The city took on an entirely different appearance as we saw during the demonstration we were attending in 2019. The dominant faction that you have supported will extend its grip on the territory, while the losers of history will colonize other neighborhoods, where to impose their morals. The gameplay itself will be impacted by your experience according to the specifics of the supported group. Other players can also join your game and enjoy the choices made without interfering with your adventure. For more details on the game, we invite you to watch our interview with Tymon Smektala, the opportunity to specify that the studio's intentions remain unharmed, despite the postponements!
