Shen Xiu has made quite a reputation for herself in The City. As her services are in high demand, she is contracted to find another deadly Infected — a mutated Demolisher. Rumor has it that this one is a former Peacekeeper Sergeant Ryan now rampaging around the city at night.

It is yet to be confirmed if that tale is true, but what is certain is that this Demolisher is much tougher than a regular one. He has already taken down multiple PK squads that tried to stop its reign of terror. Shen Xiu realizes this is not going to be an easy job so she asks Aiden for help.

Features:
Foes Are Tougher to Kill — during Chapter 2 Missions, some of the Infected and bandits within the abandoned metro will be armored PK Infected.
New Mutated Infected — instead of fighting against the Hag, players will hunt down a new dangerous Demolisher variant, Sgt. Ryan. Bigger, stronger and more resistant.

Take part in the event for must-have rewards:
Participation Goal: Kill Sgt. Ryan once
Reward: Hunter's Token

Personal Goal: Kill Sgt. Ryan 3 times
Reward: RebarBar

TGG Global Goal: Kill Sgt Ryan 500 000 times
Reward: Avocado Charm and 3x Hunter's Token

For every 50K kills over the global goal, you will receive an additional Hunter’s Token at the end of the event - up to 3 times.

**Participation and personal rewards will appear in your in-game stash once the goal is reached. After completing the global goal, head to the TechlandGG website and sign in to your account to claim the reward

Dear Pilgrims,

Nine months have already passed since the release of Dying Light 2 Stay Human. We are thrilled that you are here with us and that you appreciate our game which we have been working on for the last few years. Thanks to you, Dying Light 2 Stay Human was on Steam's bestseller list for many months.

If you liked Dying Light 2 Stay Human and are a fan of the game, vote for it at the Steam Awards.
Here are the categories - Game of the Year, Best Soundtrack, Best Game You Suck At, Outstanding Visual Style, and Labor of Love for the first Dying Light game.

Game of the Year: Dying Light 2 Stay Human

Dying Light 2 Stay Human succeeds in perfecting every major aspect of its predecessor’s gameplay mechanics, technical performance, artistic expression, and storytelling.

It expands the lore of the first game by presenting a difficult, morally complex human drama during the modern dark ages. It also allows players to shape this story into something that reflects their own beliefs. Moreover, Dying Light 2 Stay Human introduces gamers to a brand new level of quality in terms of Techland’s technical and artistic achievements in a variety of fields, such as animation, game design, visual design, or music design.

Our 5-year support plan proves the entire team’s devotion towards this game. We want to expand it even further and to make it an even better experience for all gamers. Dying Light 2 Stay Human remains an absolute stand-out in a genre of fast-paced games that offer copious amounts of action while also trying to tell a deeper story.

Best Game You Suck At: Dying Light 2 Stay Human

Exploring the City at night among a large group of the Infected is not an easy task. Running out of stamina, lack of medkits, Volatiles roaring just behind you - that is the stuff of nightmares that can give you goosebumps. To be able to survive in Villedor, you need to know the mechanics of efficiently moving around the city full of obstacles and opponents. Parkour has always been one of the focal points in the DNA of the Dying Light franchise. You must master this style of running around the city. Otherwise, you simply won’t survive.

Villedor and its traps have defeated many survivors. Techland has specifically designed the City to be a challenge for players, whether it's related to parkour activities or defeating opponents. Dying Light 2 Stay Human is not an easy game, but once you master the mechanics of moving and fighting - you might be able to survive and learn more about the story we want to show you.

Just remember to never look back while running away… that’s how they get you.

Best Soundtrack: Dying Light 2 Stay Human

The music of Dying Light 2 Stay Human consists of over 3 hours of amazing compositions made by the multi-award-winning composer - Olivier Deriviere - and performed by the equally talented - London Contemporary Orchestra.



It’s a symphony about empowering yourself in the face of the biggest of adversities. The performance of London Contemporary Orchestra really encapsulates the tone and the textures Olivier has created to deliver a unique sound to the game. But ultimately, how the music reacts to the game’s environment is the most groundbreaking part. In Olivier’s opinion, it is the best music design he has ever done.

This soundtrack is a breakthrough in dynamic musical implementation that quickly reacts and seamlessly readjusts itself depending on the player’s actions. The breathtaking soundtrack equally enriches both the traversal-focused and the action-oriented aspects of the game.

Outstanding Visual Style: Dying Light 2 Stay Human

Some of the focal points of Dying Light 2 Stay Human are the day and night cycle, along with the duality of its world. The day belongs to humans, and the night belongs to the Infected. There’s also a certain, more vertical, division present in different areas of the City.

The streets are roamed by the Infected. Because of that - humans don't build any shelters on the street level. They instead create various structures on the rooftops. That’s why it was vital for us to come up with different ways of guiding players through this high-rise maze. The entire City is filled with very distinguishable details that instantly let you know where you are in relation to objects like monuments, characteristic buildings, churches, etc. We also aimed to convey this feeling of danger using a different color grading. On the street level, the colors suddenly change. It’s not as bright and not as colorful.

Celebrate with us the release of the first story-driven DLC for Dying Light 2 Stay Human. This time, the players will be able to visit the Carnage Hall - an old opera house turned fighting arena. The encounters will pose a real challenge, suitable for the most seasoned Pilgrims. However, this expansion is not only about a bloodsport tournament. Underneath the action-packed combat lies a deep narrative about power and revenge.



The dangerous show must go on
Carnage Hall is home to all manner of conflicts. In one moment, you might find yourself participating in a relatively small brawl only for you to jump straight into the Spectacle. What are those? Just the biggest fighting performances imaginable where you will not only have to clash with the Infected and other contenders but also perform various tasks to rile up the crowd and properly tell the story - think of it as a very bloody stage play. One of those might even take you back to the days of the crisis in Harran.

Actors of destruction
On your journey, you will meet a wide cast of characters with rich personalities and complicated relationships that drive everything around them. Discover the story of people such as - Astrid (Carnage Hall’s showrunner), Ciro (a young, enthusiastic fighter), and Skullface (the arena’s brutal champion).



Powerful loot
In a place like this, flashy weapons and equipment aren’t just the means of survival. They’re also an important symbol of status. That’s why you’ll need some serious gear to impress the crowd, such as the magnificent Carnage Manica - a special shield capable of withstanding even the heaviest of blows.

Fierce foes
You will also have to face a variety of new types of enemies. The wild Gorilla Demolisher, the dangerous Cataclysm, and the Molotov-throwing Grenadier. All of them, among an entire horde of the Infected and other fighters, will stand on your way to victory.
