Zombies will never die. That is both true on a literal level and in terms of their ubiquitousness across media: zombies are everywhere. Techland, creators of Dead Island, are leading the charge of zombie games with their new title Dying Light, and they're looking to get it out there sooner than anticipated.
New Titanfall DLC Map Zone 18 Details
The game is now expected to hit between January 27 and January 30 next year, depending on where you live. North Americans can expect it on January 27, Australia and New Zealand on January 28, and Europe gets it in on January 30.
You pre-order the game now here, and if you do, you'll get access to the free DLC mode called Be the Zombie. In the DLC, you invade other players' games as the Night Hunter - an ultimate zombie with a unique set of deadly skills. By playing as the Night Hunter, you turn into a fast, agile and dangerous predator, whose objective is to hunt down human survivors. A bit of Dark Souls, a bit of Left 4 Dead. I dig it.
Dying Light is a full open world game, and as such, it wants you to explore it fully. In a previous dev video diary, Techland talks discusses the need to create a more fluid gameplay experience. No need to hobble up a single ladder when climbing, just jump and go where you want. They call it 'natural movement' and in the preview we get below, it looks all kinds of fun. You could even call it Mirror's Edge: Zombie Edition, and I'd be fine with that.
It looks...freeing. Fast. Damn the realism, I want something that lets me soar. Dying Light is out for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One. It'll cost $49.99 when it comes out in January. Watch the devs talk about the movement in the video below.
