==Gameplay==
[[File:Dying Light 2 gameplay screenshot.jpeg|thumb|left|Aiden uses a [[paraglider]] to quickly traverse the city.]]
''Dying Light 2'' is an [[action role-playing]] [[survival horror]] video game featuring a [[zombie apocalypse|zombie apocalyptic]]-themed [[open world]]. Set 22 years after ''[[Dying Light]]'', it stars a new protagonist named Aiden Caldwell (voiced by [[Jonah Scott]]), who has various [[parkour]] skills. Players can perform actions such as climbing ledges, sliding, leaping off from edges, and wall running to quickly navigate the city. It was confirmed that there are over 3000 parkour animations to give a more fluid free-running experience. Tools such as a [[grappling hook]] and a [[paraglider]] also aid traversal in the city. Aiden can also use the undead to break his fall. The game is mostly melee-based with the majority of fighting using melee weapons. The melee weapons have a limited lifespan and will degrade as the player uses them in combat.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.destructoid.com/dying-light-2-lets-you-destroy-entire-areas-in-the-city-557392.phtml |title=Dying Light 2 lets you destroy entire areas in the city |first=Darren |last=Nakamura |work=[[Destructoid]] |date=2019-06-20 |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2019-06-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621143318/https://www.destructoid.com/dying-light-2-lets-you-destroy-entire-areas-in-the-city-557392.phtml |url-status=live}}</ref> Long-range weapons such as [[crossbows]], [[shotguns]], and [[spears]] can be used as well.

==Story==
===Setting===
The 2015 rabies-like outbreak in Harran (depicted in ''[[Dying Light]]'') ended with the “death” of all of the people in Harran. The Global Relief Effort (GRE) was eventually able to develop a vaccine for the Harran Virus, ending the threat of a global pandemic. Yet, despite promises to cease all & any research on the virus, the GRE continued experimenting on it in secret for the intended use as a biological weapon. In 2021, a mutated variant of the virus, named the Tachytransmissive Harran Virus (THV) escaped a GRE lab and started a second, more deadly pandemic that spread faster than the first, sweeping across the world & causing millions to become monsters. In an event called "The Fall", the GRE’s vaccine and Antizin became ineffective against the new strain of THV, but if one were to be infected their symptoms could be suppressed with ultraviolet light, which could also be used to ward off, and harm the infected.
By 2036, fifteen years after the Fall, much of the world's population has been wiped out, human civilization has been reduced to a handful of scattered settlements, with the fictional walled European city of Villedor being one of the largest. Originally quarantined by the GRE, Villedor was spared the worst of the pandemic thanks to its quarantine walls keeping the hordes of infected out of the city. Control of the city is split between several factions, including the militaristic Peacekeepers, the independent Survivors, and the violent Renegades.
The main protagonist Aiden Caldwell is a Pilgrim, an individual brave enough to make the dangerous trek between human settlements. He decides to travel to Villedor in order to search for his lost sister, Mia.
===Plot===
[[File:Rosario Dawson by Gage Skidmore 2.jpg|thumb|upright|right|[[Rosario Dawson]] provided the voice and motion capture for Lawan, a major character in the game.]]
[[File:David Belle NewYorker.jpg|thumb|upright|right| [[David Belle]] (founder of parkour) provided the motion capture for Hakon]]<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8545514/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm</ref>
Aiden, a 20 year old survivor of the Fall & a Pilgrim - a brave traveler who delivers goods & information between settlements - has been making his way to the city of Villedor, one of the last surviving cities on Earth thanks to its quarantine by the GRE. After being told by Spike how to contact an informant named Dylan who knows the whereabouts of Vincent Waltz, a doctor who experimented on Aiden and his sister Mia when they were children to find a cure for THV, but were separated due to a terrible incident in the lab, Aiden meets with Dylan, but is attacked & bitten by a Volatile, and Aiden becomes infected with THV. After traveling through the tunnel, and saving Dylan from a group of marauders called Renegades, Dylan gives Aiden a working GRE electronic key, warning him that if Waltz were to get his hands on it, Villedor would be doomed. He then instructs Aiden to take the key to the "Fish Eye", and find a woman named Lawan. Dylan proceeds to open a fan duct, and have Aiden go into the duct, before shutting & locking it. Aiden watches as Waltz executes Dylan, and proceeds to chase Aiden, making his way further into Villedor.
Aiden eventually finds his way to the Bazaar, a large settlement in old Villedor run by a group of people called Survivors. Aiden is nearly hung & killed due to his lack of a biomarker - an electronic device that tracks the progression of THV - but is saved by Hakon, a former Nightrunner. Hakon explains that tensions in Villedor are high due to the recent murder of a high ranking Peacekeeper officer, Lucas. The Peacekeepers believe that the survivors of the Bazaar are responsible due to their hatred of the Peacekeepers, and risk of a war between the two factions seems imminent. Hakon helps Aiden obtain a biomarker and tries to smuggle him into Villedor's Central loop, where the "Fish Eye" is located. Players can choose to side with either the Bazaar's leaders, Carl and Sophie or Aitor, an officer of the Peacekeepers. Both of them promise Aiden that they will smuggle him into the Central District as both sides go to war.
Regardless of who Aiden sides with, he discovers that Hakon was the one who killed Lucas, on the order of Waltz. If players choose to help Hakon after he is shot, Aiden comes across a person attempting to kill him, and discovers it is a woman. After making his way to an abandoned GRE tunnel - depending on his choices - Aiden is met by either an angry, or friendly Aitor. Waltz suddenly appears in the tunnel & confronts Aiden, demonstrating superhuman abilities as he steals the GRE key from him, and kills all of the Peacekeepers save for Aitor. Aiden pursues Waltz to an abandoned car factory, where he uses the key to activate a console before the mysterious woman intervenes, incapacitating Waltz long enough for Aiden to recover the key and escape. The woman reveals herself to be Lawan, and that she was also one of Waltz's test subjects and seeks revenge against him, and that Lucas was murdered by Waltz after originally finding the GRE key. With the key, Aiden and Lawan are able to enter the Central district, where they see electricity suddenly be restored to the city due to Waltz's use of the key. Aiden then meets with the commander of the Peacekeepers, Jack Matt, and the former leader of the now defunct Nightrunner group, Frank. They both task Aiden with reactivating the radio antenna atop Villedor's highest skyscraper so that they can broadcast messages to all of Villedor and the settlements beyond, and in return they can help Aiden with finding a surviving GRE doctor so that he can access the GRE database.
After reactivating the tower, Aiden learns that the GRE doctor's identity is Dr. Veronika Ryan, a Bazaar resident. Aiden returns to the Bazaar and finds Veronika, who is on the run from the Renegades. Together, they head to a GRE facility called the Observatory, which had originally been inaccessible due to being bombarded by THV GenMod. At the observatory Veronica claims they can find the location of a GRE database. After accessing the database, Aiden does not find any information to help his search for Mia, but discovers that Waltz reactivating Villedor's power plant also reactivated a GRE failsafe protocol, which initiates missile bombardments to destroy Villedor. Waltz arrives to take the key, and while fighting him, Aiden loses control of his THV infection and kills Veronika just as a missile destroys the Observatory, allowing Waltz to escape with the key.
Lawan pulls Aiden from the debris, and he warns her that Waltz's experiments on him means he will inevitably fully succumb to the infection. After a deal between the Survivors, Peacekeepers, and Renegades goes horribly wrong, Aiden has a choice to either stay & help Frank, or go after a getaway van, containing members of the Renegades. Either way, once he finishes his tasks, Aiden meets Colonel Williams, leader of the Renegades & former military colonel of Villedor. Williams claims he originally stopped the missile bombardments from destroying Villedor, but Waltz has resumed them, which resulted in Waltz being able to take Williams' men. Not wanting to see Villedor destroyed, Williams tells Aiden to head for the X13 lab to confront Waltz and stop the missiles. Aiden and Lawan enter the complex and are shocked to find that X13 was supposed to be a survival shelter for GRE officials, with massive stockpiles of food, water, and basic necessities. Lawan rescues Hakon after he tries to protect them from Waltz's Renegades, leaving Aiden to continue alone. As he journeys through X13, he realizes it is the same facility where he was experimented on.
Aiden confronts Waltz, who reveals that Aiden's memories were suppressed, and that Mia is actually Waltz's daughter, who he has been trying to cure of an aggressive strain of THV, for the past 15 years since the military incident. Waltz refuses to abort the missile launches, as that would require shutting down X13, whose facilities are necessary to cure Mia, forcing Aiden to battle him. Aiden finally manages to defeat Waltz, who succumbs to his wounds, but the GRE key is destroyed in the fighting. Lawan then tells Aiden she plans to detonate explosives to destroy the missiles before they can launch, which will destroy X13 and possibly herself. Aiden must choose to either try and save Mia, or save Lawan.
* If Aiden goes to save Lawan, he takes her out of X13. However, Aiden fails to stop the missile strike, which destroys Villedor and kills a majority of the population. Aiden then leaves the city due to his infection, continuing his journey as a Pilgrim. Depending on the player's choices during the game, Hakon may leave the city with him.
* If Aiden goes to save Mia, he takes her out of X13. X13 is destroyed in the explosion and the city is spared from destruction. Mia dies shortly after due to her weakened condition and is buried by Aiden. Meanwhile, Villedor falls under the control of the faction Aiden supported the most. However, Aiden ultimately decides to leave Villedor due to his infection and continues his journey as a Pilgrim. Depending on the player's choices during the game, Hakon may save Lawan from X13's destruction and Lawan may leave the city with Aiden.
==Development==
''Dying Light 2'' was developed and published by [[Techland]]. The team intended to invoke a sense of loss and dread. They also show that humanity was on the edge of extinction. To show the fragility of humanity, the team introduced several layers to the City, in which the temporary structures are built on top of the ruins of the old buildings to accommodate humans, whereas permanent structures and concrete ground are occupied by massive hordes of zombies.<ref name="PolyPre"/> When creating the city, the team utilized an internal technology named CityBuilder, which can assemble different building parts like ledges and windows with minimal input from the level designers. The technology enabled the team to create and change the city design quickly. The team created a new engine named C-Engine to power the game.<ref name="emergence">{{cite web |url=https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/345394/Building_interesting_emergence_in_Dying_Light_2.php |title=Building interesting emergence in Dying Light 2 |first=Bryant |last=Francis |work=[[Gamasutra]] |date=2019-06-25 |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2019-06-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190626120139/https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/345394/Building_interesting_emergence_in_Dying_Light_2.php |url-status=live}}</ref>
The game placed a significantly larger emphasis on narrative when compared with its predecessor. The team approached [[Chris Avellone]] to help write the game's story which is reactive to players' choices. The team felt that they had developed an open city, but they wanted the narrative to share the same level of agency.<ref name="PolyPre"/> The game was described as a "narrative sandbox" in which every choice has "genuine" consequences according to Avellone.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2018-dying-light-2-will-be-a-narrative-sandbox-/1100-6459788/ |title=E3 2018: Dying Light 2 Will Be A "Narrative Sandbox" Where Your Actions Shape Your Environment |first=Patrick |last=Faller |work=[[GameSpot]] |date=2018-06-13 |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2018-06-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615100512/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2018-dying-light-2-will-be-a-narrative-sandbox-/1100-6459788/ |url-status=live}}</ref> After players make certain choices, the game space will change. The game's story features a more serious tone when compared with the first game. To make the world feel believable and authentic, the team took inspiration from real-world issues and political ideologies and had to drop gameplay ideas that were deemed too unrealistic.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/history-and-future-of-dying-light-2/ |title=How Dying Light 2 is a culmination of everything Techland has learnt making zombie games so far |first=Alex |last=Avard |work=[[GamesRadar]] |date=2019-03-14 |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2019-06-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190626120139/https://www.gamesradar.com/history-and-future-of-dying-light-2/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Ciszewski added that in each playthrough, players will "lose at least 25 percent of the content".<ref name="PolyPre"/>
The story focuses on a new, modern "[[Dark Ages (historiography)|Dark Ages]]" for humanity, which enables the story to convey themes such as betrayal, infidelity, and intrigue. The team was confident about the game's gameplay, though they felt that they needed additional help when designing the game's narrative. Therefore, the team recruited Avellone as well as writers who worked on ''[[The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt]]'', a game widely praised for its writing and story. The narrative design prompts players to care about the [[non-playable character]]s and encourages players to be more sensitive about their presence and needs.<ref name="emergence"/> Zombies, instead of being the main enemy like in the last game, become a [[narrative device]] that pressurize other non-playable characters to induce interesting drama and themes.<ref>{{cite web |last=Weber |first=Rachel |date=2019-03-12 |title=How Dying Light 2 is inspired by The Witcher 3 and Game of Thrones |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/how-dying-light-2-is-inspired-by-the-witcher-3-and-game-of-thrones/ |work=GamesRadar |language=en-US |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2018-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180630042404/https://www.gamesradar.com/how-dying-light-2-is-inspired-by-the-witcher-3-and-game-of-thrones/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The game features hostile human enemies more heavily when compared with the first game, as the team was inspired by works including ''[[The Walking Dead (franchise)|The Walking Dead]]'' and ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', in which living humans are equally dangerous. The team developed a life cycle for zombies in the game. Newly bitten zombies are called Viral, which are fast and dangerous enemies whose humanity still remain. They would become Biters, which are described as "regular zombies". When Biters are exposed to UV light for a long period of time, they devolved into Degenerates, which are degenerating zombies with flesh falling off from them.<ref>{{cite web |last=Avard |first=Alex |date=2019-03-11 |title=Exclusive: Dying Light 2's new zombie types explained with official concept art |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/exclusive-dying-light-2s-new-zombie-types-explained-with-official-concept-art/ |work=GamesRadar |language=en-US |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2019-03-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190314141150/https://www.gamesradar.com/exclusive-dying-light-2s-new-zombie-types-explained-with-official-concept-art/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
Due to [[sexual misconduct]] allegations made against Chris Avellone in June 2020, Techland and Avellone agreed to terminate his involvement with ''Dying Light 2''.

''Dying Light 2'' received "generally favorable" reviews, according to [[review aggregator]] [[Metacritic]].<ref name="MCPC"/><ref name="MCPS5"/><ref name="MCXSXS"/>
''[[Kotaku]]'' praised the parkour system, writing that it expanded upon its predecessor in meaningful ways, "''Dying Light 2'' feels as if Techland realized how the first game's movement made it stand out from so many other zombie games, and focused on building it up more.

[[File:Dying Light 2 gameplay screenshot.jpeg|thumb|left|Aiden uses a [[paraglider]] to quickly traverse the city.]]
''Dying Light 2'' is an [[action role-playing]] [[survival horror]] video game featuring a [[zombie apocalypse|zombie apocalyptic]]-themed [[open world]]. Set 22 years after ''[[Dying Light]]'', it stars a new protagonist named Aiden Caldwell (voiced by [[Jonah Scott]]), who has various [[parkour]] skills. Players can perform actions such as climbing ledges, sliding, leaping off from edges, and wall running to quickly navigate the city. It was confirmed that there are over 3000 parkour animations to give a more fluid free-running experience. Tools such as a [[grappling hook]] and a [[paraglider]] also aid traversal in the city. Aiden can also use the undead to break his fall. The game is mostly melee-based with the majority of fighting using melee weapons. The melee weapons have a limited lifespan and will degrade as the player uses them in combat.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.destructoid.com/dying-light-2-lets-you-destroy-entire-areas-in-the-city-557392.phtml |title=Dying Light 2 lets you destroy entire areas in the city |first=Darren |last=Nakamura |work=[[Destructoid]] |date=2019-06-20 |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2019-06-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621143318/https://www.destructoid.com/dying-light-2-lets-you-destroy-entire-areas-in-the-city-557392.phtml |url-status=live}}</ref> Long-range weapons such as [[crossbows]], [[shotguns]], and [[spears]] can be used as well.

==Story==
===Setting===
The 2015 rabies-like outbreak in Harran (depicted in ''[[Dying Light]]'') ended with the “death” of all of the people in Harran. The Global Relief Effort (GRE) was eventually able to develop a vaccine for the Harran Virus, ending the threat of a global pandemic. Yet, despite promises to cease all & any research on the virus, the GRE continued experimenting on it in secret for the intended use as a biological weapon. In 2021, a mutated variant of the virus, named the Tachytransmissive Harran Virus (THV) escaped a GRE lab and started a second, more deadly pandemic that spread faster than the first, sweeping across the world & causing millions to become monsters. In an event called "The Fall", the GRE’s vaccine and Antizin became ineffective against the new strain of THV, but if one were to be infected their symptoms could be suppressed with ultraviolet light, which could also be used to ward off, and harm the infected.
By 2036, fifteen years after the Fall, much of the world's population has been wiped out, human civilization has been reduced to a handful of scattered settlements, with the fictional walled European city of Villedor being one of the largest. Originally quarantined by the GRE, Villedor was spared the worst of the pandemic thanks to its quarantine walls keeping the hordes of infected out of the city. Control of the city is split between several factions, including the militaristic Peacekeepers, the independent Survivors, and the violent Renegades.
The main protagonist Aiden Caldwell is a Pilgrim, an individual brave enough to make the dangerous trek between human settlements. He decides to travel to Villedor in order to search for his lost sister, Mia.
===Plot===
[[File:Rosario Dawson by Gage Skidmore 2.jpg|thumb|upright|right|[[Rosario Dawson]] provided the voice and motion capture for Lawan, a major character in the game.]]
[[File:David Belle NewYorker.jpg|thumb|upright|right| [[David Belle]] (founder of parkour) provided the motion capture for Hakon]]<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8545514/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm</ref>
Aiden, a 20 year old survivor of the Fall & a Pilgrim - a brave traveler who delivers goods & information between settlements - has been making his way to the city of Villedor, one of the last surviving cities on Earth thanks to its quarantine by the GRE. After being told by Spike how to contact an informant named Dylan who knows the whereabouts of Vincent Waltz, a doctor who experimented on Aiden and his sister Mia when they were children to find a cure for THV, but were separated due to a terrible incident in the lab, Aiden meets with Dylan, but is attacked & bitten by a Volatile, and Aiden becomes infected with THV. After traveling through the tunnel, and saving Dylan from a group of marauders called Renegades, Dylan gives Aiden a working GRE electronic key, warning him that if Waltz were to get his hands on it, Villedor would be doomed. He then instructs Aiden to take the key to the "Fish Eye", and find a woman named Lawan. Dylan proceeds to open a fan duct, and have Aiden go into the duct, before shutting & locking it. Aiden watches as Waltz executes Dylan, and proceeds to chase Aiden, making his way further into Villedor.
Aiden eventually finds his way to the Bazaar, a large settlement in old Villedor run by a group of people called Survivors. Aiden is nearly hung & killed due to his lack of a biomarker - an electronic device that tracks the progression of THV - but is saved by Hakon, a former Nightrunner. Hakon explains that tensions in Villedor are high due to the recent murder of a high ranking Peacekeeper officer, Lucas. The Peacekeepers believe that the survivors of the Bazaar are responsible due to their hatred of the Peacekeepers, and risk of a war between the two factions seems imminent. Hakon helps Aiden obtain a biomarker and tries to smuggle him into Villedor's Central loop, where the "Fish Eye" is located. Players can choose to side with either the Bazaar's leaders, Carl and Sophie or Aitor, an officer of the Peacekeepers. Both of them promise Aiden that they will smuggle him into the Central District as both sides go to war.
Regardless of who Aiden sides with, he discovers that Hakon was the one who killed Lucas, on the order of Waltz. If players choose to help Hakon after he is shot, Aiden comes across a person attempting to kill him, and discovers it is a woman. After making his way to an abandoned GRE tunnel - depending on his choices - Aiden is met by either an angry, or friendly Aitor. Waltz suddenly appears in the tunnel & confronts Aiden, demonstrating superhuman abilities as he steals the GRE key from him, and kills all of the Peacekeepers save for Aitor. Aiden pursues Waltz to an abandoned car factory, where he uses the key to activate a console before the mysterious woman intervenes, incapacitating Waltz long enough for Aiden to recover the key and escape. The woman reveals herself to be Lawan, and that she was also one of Waltz's test subjects and seeks revenge against him, and that Lucas was murdered by Waltz after originally finding the GRE key. With the key, Aiden and Lawan are able to enter the Central district, where they see electricity suddenly be restored to the city due to Waltz's use of the key. Aiden then meets with the commander of the Peacekeepers, Jack Matt, and the former leader of the now defunct Nightrunner group, Frank. They both task Aiden with reactivating the radio antenna atop Villedor's highest skyscraper so that they can broadcast messages to all of Villedor and the settlements beyond, and in return they can help Aiden with finding a surviving GRE doctor so that he can access the GRE database.
After reactivating the tower, Aiden learns that the GRE doctor's identity is Dr. Veronika Ryan, a Bazaar resident. Aiden returns to the Bazaar and finds Veronika, who is on the run from the Renegades. Together, they head to a GRE facility called the Observatory, which had originally been inaccessible due to being bombarded by THV GenMod. At the observatory Veronica claims they can find the location of a GRE database. After accessing the database, Aiden does not find any information to help his search for Mia, but discovers that Waltz reactivating Villedor's power plant also reactivated a GRE failsafe protocol, which initiates missile bombardments to destroy Villedor. Waltz arrives to take the key, and while fighting him, Aiden loses control of his THV infection and kills Veronika just as a missile destroys the Observatory, allowing Waltz to escape with the key.
Lawan pulls Aiden from the debris, and he warns her that Waltz's experiments on him means he will inevitably fully succumb to the infection. After a deal between the Survivors, Peacekeepers, and Renegades goes horribly wrong, Aiden has a choice to either stay & help Frank, or go after a getaway van, containing members of the Renegades. Either way, once he finishes his tasks, Aiden meets Colonel Williams, leader of the Renegades & former military colonel of Villedor. Williams claims he originally stopped the missile bombardments from destroying Villedor, but Waltz has resumed them, which resulted in Waltz being able to take Williams' men. Not wanting to see Villedor destroyed, Williams tells Aiden to head for the X13 lab to confront Waltz and stop the missiles. Aiden and Lawan enter the complex and are shocked to find that X13 was supposed to be a survival shelter for GRE officials, with massive stockpiles of food, water, and basic necessities. Lawan rescues Hakon after he tries to protect them from Waltz's Renegades, leaving Aiden to continue alone. As he journeys through X13, he realizes it is the same facility where he was experimented on.
Aiden confronts Waltz, who reveals that Aiden's memories were suppressed, and that Mia is actually Waltz's daughter, who he has been trying to cure of an aggressive strain of THV, for the past 15 years since the military incident. Waltz refuses to abort the missile launches, as that would require shutting down X13, whose facilities are necessary to cure Mia, forcing Aiden to battle him. Aiden finally manages to defeat Waltz, who succumbs to his wounds, but the GRE key is destroyed in the fighting. Lawan then tells Aiden she plans to detonate explosives to destroy the missiles before they can launch, which will destroy X13 and possibly herself. Aiden must choose to either try and save Mia, or save Lawan.
* If Aiden goes to save Lawan, he takes her out of X13. However, Aiden fails to stop the missile strike, which destroys Villedor and kills a majority of the population. Aiden then leaves the city due to his infection, continuing his journey as a Pilgrim. Depending on the player's choices during the game, Hakon may leave the city with him.
* If Aiden goes to save Mia, he takes her out of X13. X13 is destroyed in the explosion and the city is spared from destruction. Mia dies shortly after due to her weakened condition and is buried by Aiden. Meanwhile, Villedor falls under the control of the faction Aiden supported the most. However, Aiden ultimately decides to leave Villedor due to his infection and continues his journey as a Pilgrim. Depending on the player's choices during the game, Hakon may save Lawan from X13's destruction and Lawan may leave the city with Aiden.
==Development==
''Dying Light 2'' was developed and published by [[Techland]]. The team intended to invoke a sense of loss and dread. They also show that humanity was on the edge of extinction. To show the fragility of humanity, the team introduced several layers to the City, in which the temporary structures are built on top of the ruins of the old buildings to accommodate humans, whereas permanent structures and concrete ground are occupied by massive hordes of zombies.<ref name="PolyPre"/> When creating the city, the team utilized an internal technology named CityBuilder, which can assemble different building parts like ledges and windows with minimal input from the level designers. The technology enabled the team to create and change the city design quickly. The team created a new engine named C-Engine to power the game.<ref name="emergence">{{cite web |url=https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/345394/Building_interesting_emergence_in_Dying_Light_2.php |title=Building interesting emergence in Dying Light 2 |first=Bryant |last=Francis |work=[[Gamasutra]] |date=2019-06-25 |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2019-06-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190626120139/https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/345394/Building_interesting_emergence_in_Dying_Light_2.php |url-status=live}}</ref>
The game placed a significantly larger emphasis on narrative when compared with its predecessor. The team approached [[Chris Avellone]] to help write the game's story which is reactive to players' choices. The team felt that they had developed an open city, but they wanted the narrative to share the same level of agency.<ref name="PolyPre"/> The game was described as a "narrative sandbox" in which every choice has "genuine" consequences according to Avellone.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2018-dying-light-2-will-be-a-narrative-sandbox-/1100-6459788/ |title=E3 2018: Dying Light 2 Will Be A "Narrative Sandbox" Where Your Actions Shape Your Environment |first=Patrick |last=Faller |work=[[GameSpot]] |date=2018-06-13 |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2018-06-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615100512/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2018-dying-light-2-will-be-a-narrative-sandbox-/1100-6459788/ |url-status=live}}</ref> After players make certain choices, the game space will change. The game's story features a more serious tone when compared with the first game. To make the world feel believable and authentic, the team took inspiration from real-world issues and political ideologies and had to drop gameplay ideas that were deemed too unrealistic.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/history-and-future-of-dying-light-2/ |title=How Dying Light 2 is a culmination of everything Techland has learnt making zombie games so far |first=Alex |last=Avard |work=[[GamesRadar]] |date=2019-03-14 |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2019-06-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190626120139/https://www.gamesradar.com/history-and-future-of-dying-light-2/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Ciszewski added that in each playthrough, players will "lose at least 25 percent of the content".<ref name="PolyPre"/>
The story focuses on a new, modern "[[Dark Ages (historiography)|Dark Ages]]" for humanity, which enables the story to convey themes such as betrayal, infidelity, and intrigue. The team was confident about the game's gameplay, though they felt that they needed additional help when designing the game's narrative. Therefore, the team recruited Avellone as well as writers who worked on ''[[The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt]]'', a game widely praised for its writing and story. The narrative design prompts players to care about the [[non-playable character]]s and encourages players to be more sensitive about their presence and needs.<ref name="emergence"/> Zombies, instead of being the main enemy like in the last game, become a [[narrative device]] that pressurize other non-playable characters to induce interesting drama and themes.<ref>{{cite web |last=Weber |first=Rachel |date=2019-03-12 |title=How Dying Light 2 is inspired by The Witcher 3 and Game of Thrones |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/how-dying-light-2-is-inspired-by-the-witcher-3-and-game-of-thrones/ |work=GamesRadar |language=en-US |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2018-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180630042404/https://www.gamesradar.com/how-dying-light-2-is-inspired-by-the-witcher-3-and-game-of-thrones/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The game features hostile human enemies more heavily when compared with the first game, as the team was inspired by works including ''[[The Walking Dead (franchise)|The Walking Dead]]'' and ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', in which living humans are equally dangerous. The team developed a life cycle for zombies in the game. Newly bitten zombies are called Viral, which are fast and dangerous enemies whose humanity still remain. They would become Biters, which are described as "regular zombies". When Biters are exposed to UV light for a long period of time, they devolved into Degenerates, which are degenerating zombies with flesh falling off from them.<ref>{{cite web |last=Avard |first=Alex |date=2019-03-11 |title=Exclusive: Dying Light 2's new zombie types explained with official concept art |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/exclusive-dying-light-2s-new-zombie-types-explained-with-official-concept-art/ |work=GamesRadar |language=en-US |access-date=2019-06-25 |archive-date=2019-03-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190314141150/https://www.gamesradar.com/exclusive-dying-light-2s-new-zombie-types-explained-with-official-concept-art/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

<p>The 2015 rabies-like outbreak in Harran (depicted in <i><a href="/wiki/Dying_Light" title="Dying Light">Dying Light</a></i>) ended with the “death” of all of the people in Harran. The Global Relief Effort (GRE) was eventually able to develop a vaccine for the Harran Virus, ending the threat of a global pandemic. Yet, despite promises to cease all & any research on the virus, the GRE continued experimenting on it in secret for the intended use as a biological weapon. In 2021, a mutated variant of the virus, named the Tachytransmissive Harran Virus (THV) escaped a GRE lab and started a second, more deadly pandemic that spread faster than the first, sweeping across the world & causing millions to become monsters. In an event called "The Fall", the GRE’s vaccine and Antizin became ineffective against the new strain of THV, but if one were to be infected their symptoms could be suppressed with ultraviolet light, which could also be used to ward off, and harm the infected.
</p><p>By 2036, fifteen years after the Fall, much of the world's population has been wiped out, human civilization has been reduced to a handful of scattered settlements, with the fictional walled European city of Villedor being one of the largest. Originally quarantined by the GRE, Villedor was spared the worst of the pandemic thanks to its quarantine walls keeping the hordes of infected out of the city. Control of the city is split between several factions, including the militaristic Peacekeepers, the independent Survivors, and the violent Renegades.
</p><p>The main protagonist Aiden Caldwell is a Pilgrim, an individual brave enough to make the dangerous trek between human settlements. He decides to travel to Villedor in order to search for his lost sister, Mia.

</p><p>Aiden, a 20 year old survivor of the Fall & a Pilgrim - a brave traveler who delivers goods & information between settlements - has been making his way to the city of Villedor, one of the last surviving cities on Earth thanks to its quarantine by the GRE. After being told by Spike how to contact an informant named Dylan who knows the whereabouts of Vincent Waltz, a doctor who experimented on Aiden and his sister Mia when they were children to find a cure for THV, but were separated due to a terrible incident in the lab, Aiden meets with Dylan, but is attacked & bitten by a Volatile, and Aiden becomes infected with THV. After traveling through the tunnel, and saving Dylan from a group of marauders called Renegades, Dylan gives Aiden a working GRE electronic key, warning him that if Waltz were to get his hands on it, Villedor would be doomed. He then instructs Aiden to take the key to the "Fish Eye", and find a woman named Lawan. Dylan proceeds to open a fan duct, and have Aiden go into the duct, before shutting & locking it. Aiden watches as Waltz executes Dylan, and proceeds to chase Aiden, making his way further into Villedor.
</p><p>Aiden eventually finds his way to the Bazaar, a large settlement in old Villedor run by a group of people called Survivors. Aiden is nearly hung & killed due to his lack of a biomarker - an electronic device that tracks the progression of THV - but is saved by Hakon, a former Nightrunner. Hakon explains that tensions in Villedor are high due to the recent murder of a high ranking Peacekeeper officer, Lucas. The Peacekeepers believe that the survivors of the Bazaar are responsible due to their hatred of the Peacekeepers, and risk of a war between the two factions seems imminent. Hakon helps Aiden obtain a biomarker and tries to smuggle him into Villedor's Central loop, where the "Fish Eye" is located. Players can choose to side with either the Bazaar's leaders, Carl and Sophie or Aitor, an officer of the Peacekeepers. Both of them promise Aiden that they will smuggle him into the Central District as both sides go to war.
</p><p>Regardless of who Aiden sides with, he discovers that Hakon was the one who killed Lucas, on the order of Waltz. If players choose to help Hakon after he is shot, Aiden comes across a person attempting to kill him, and discovers it is a woman. After making his way to an abandoned GRE tunnel - depending on his choices - Aiden is met by either an angry, or friendly Aitor. Waltz suddenly appears in the tunnel & confronts Aiden, demonstrating superhuman abilities as he steals the GRE key from him, and kills all of the Peacekeepers save for Aitor. Aiden pursues Waltz to an abandoned car factory, where he uses the key to activate a console before the mysterious woman intervenes, incapacitating Waltz long enough for Aiden to recover the key and escape. The woman reveals herself to be Lawan, and that she was also one of Waltz's test subjects and seeks revenge against him, and that Lucas was murdered by Waltz after originally finding the GRE key. With the key, Aiden and Lawan are able to enter the Central district, where they see electricity suddenly be restored to the city due to Waltz's use of the key. Aiden then meets with the commander of the Peacekeepers, Jack Matt, and the former leader of the now defunct Nightrunner group, Frank. They both task Aiden with reactivating the radio antenna atop Villedor's highest skyscraper so that they can broadcast messages to all of Villedor and the settlements beyond, and in return they can help Aiden with finding a surviving GRE doctor so that he can access the GRE database.
</p><p>After reactivating the tower, Aiden learns that the GRE doctor's identity is Dr. Veronika Ryan, a Bazaar resident. Aiden returns to the Bazaar and finds Veronika, who is on the run from the Renegades. Together, they head to a GRE facility called the Observatory, which had originally been inaccessible due to being bombarded by THV GenMod. At the observatory Veronica claims they can find the location of a GRE database. After accessing the database, Aiden does not find any information to help his search for Mia, but discovers that Waltz reactivating Villedor's power plant also reactivated a GRE failsafe protocol, which initiates missile bombardments to destroy Villedor. Waltz arrives to take the key, and while fighting him, Aiden loses control of his THV infection and kills Veronika just as a missile destroys the Observatory, allowing Waltz to escape with the key.
</p><p>Lawan pulls Aiden from the debris, and he warns her that Waltz's experiments on him means he will inevitably fully succumb to the infection. After a deal between the Survivors, Peacekeepers, and Renegades goes horribly wrong, Aiden has a choice to either stay & help Frank, or go after a getaway van, containing members of the Renegades. Either way, once he finishes his tasks, Aiden meets Colonel Williams, leader of the Renegades & former military colonel of Villedor. Williams claims he originally stopped the missile bombardments from destroying Villedor, but Waltz has resumed them, which resulted in Waltz being able to take Williams' men. Not wanting to see Villedor destroyed, Williams tells Aiden to head for the X13 lab to confront Waltz and stop the missiles. Aiden and Lawan enter the complex and are shocked to find that X13 was supposed to be a survival shelter for GRE officials, with massive stockpiles of food, water, and basic necessities. Lawan rescues Hakon after he tries to protect them from Waltz's Renegades, leaving Aiden to continue alone. As he journeys through X13, he realizes it is the same facility where he was experimented on.
</p><p>Aiden confronts Waltz, who reveals that Aiden's memories were suppressed, and that Mia is actually Waltz's daughter, who he has been trying to cure of an aggressive strain of THV, for the past 15 years since the military incident. Waltz refuses to abort the missile launches, as that would require shutting down X13, whose facilities are necessary to cure Mia, forcing Aiden to battle him. Aiden finally manages to defeat Waltz, who succumbs to his wounds, but the GRE key is destroyed in the fighting. Lawan then tells Aiden she plans to detonate explosives to destroy the missiles before they can launch, which will destroy X13 and possibly herself. Aiden must choose to either try and save Mia, or save Lawan.
</p>
<ul><li>If Aiden goes to save Lawan, he takes her out of X13. However, Aiden fails to stop the missile strike, which destroys Villedor and kills a majority of the population. Aiden then leaves the city due to his infection, continuing his journey as a Pilgrim. Depending on the player's choices during the game, Hakon may leave the city with him.</li>
<li>If Aiden goes to save Mia, he takes her out of X13. X13 is destroyed in the explosion and the city is spared from destruction. Mia dies shortly after due to her weakened condition and is buried by Aiden. Meanwhile, Villedor falls under the control of the faction Aiden supported the most. However, Aiden ultimately decides to leave Villedor due to his infection and continues his journey as a Pilgrim. Depending on the player's choices during the game, Hakon may save Lawan from X13's destruction and Lawan may leave the city with Aiden.</li></ul>

<p><i>Dying Light 2</i> was developed and published by <a href="/wiki/Techland" title="Techland">Techland</a>. The team intended to invoke a sense of loss and dread. They also show that humanity was on the edge of extinction. To show the fragility of humanity, the team introduced several layers to the City, in which the temporary structures are built on top of the ruins of the old buildings to accommodate humans, whereas permanent structures and concrete ground are occupied by massive hordes of zombies.<sup id="cite_ref-PolyPre_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PolyPre-2">[2]</a></sup> When creating the city, the team utilized an internal technology named CityBuilder, which can assemble different building parts like ledges and windows with minimal input from the level designers. The technology enabled the team to create and change the city design quickly. The team created a new engine named C-Engine to power the game.<sup id="cite_ref-emergence_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-emergence-12">[12]</a></sup>
</p><p>The game placed a significantly larger emphasis on narrative when compared with its predecessor. The team approached <a href="/wiki/Chris_Avellone" title="Chris Avellone">Chris Avellone</a> to help write the game's story which is reactive to players' choices. The team felt that they had developed an open city, but they wanted the narrative to share the same level of agency.<sup id="cite_ref-PolyPre_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PolyPre-2">[2]</a></sup> The game was described as a "narrative sandbox" in which every choice has "genuine" consequences according to Avellone.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a></sup> After players make certain choices, the game space will change. The game's story features a more serious tone when compared with the first game. To make the world feel believable and authentic, the team took inspiration from real-world issues and political ideologies and had to drop gameplay ideas that were deemed too unrealistic.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a></sup> Ciszewski added that in each playthrough, players will "lose at least 25 percent of the content".<sup id="cite_ref-PolyPre_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PolyPre-2">[2]</a></sup>
</p><p>The story focuses on a new, modern "<a href="/wiki/Dark_Ages_(historiography)" title="Dark Ages (historiography)">Dark Ages</a>" for humanity, which enables the story to convey themes such as betrayal, infidelity, and intrigue. The team was confident about the game's gameplay, though they felt that they needed additional help when designing the game's narrative. Therefore, the team recruited Avellone as well as writers who worked on <i><a href="/wiki/The_Witcher_3:_Wild_Hunt" title="The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</a></i>, a game widely praised for its writing and story. The narrative design prompts players to care about the <a href="/wiki/Non-playable_character" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-playable character">non-playable characters</a> and encourages players to be more sensitive about their presence and needs.<sup id="cite_ref-emergence_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-emergence-12">[12]</a></sup> Zombies, instead of being the main enemy like in the last game, become a <a href="/wiki/Narrative_device" class="mw-redirect" title="Narrative device">narrative device</a> that pressurize other non-playable characters to induce interesting drama and themes.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a></sup> The game features hostile human enemies more heavily when compared with the first game, as the team was inspired by works including <i><a href="/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_(franchise)" title="The Walking Dead (franchise)">The Walking Dead</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Game_of_Thrones" title="Game of Thrones">Game of Thrones</a></i>, in which living humans are equally dangerous. The team developed a life cycle for zombies in the game. Newly bitten zombies are called Viral, which are fast and dangerous enemies whose humanity still remain. They would become Biters, which are described as "regular zombies". When Biters are exposed to UV light for a long period of time, they devolved into Degenerates, which are degenerating zombies with flesh falling off from them.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a></sup>
</p><p>Due to <a href="/wiki/Sexual_misconduct" title="Sexual misconduct">sexual misconduct</a> allegations made against Chris Avellone in June 2020, Techland and Avellone agreed to terminate his involvement with <i>Dying Light 2</i>. He has since filed a libel lawsuit and denied sexual misconduct of any kind, calling the allegations malicious and false.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a></sup>
