Techland reveals new infected species, David Belle collaboration
Techland debuted the second episode of Dying 2 Know (D2K), an original web series that dives deep into the world of Dying Light 2 Stay Human. The episode showcased a new gameplay trailer, gave gamers a closer look at the infected, and went behind the scenes of mocap and sound design. Techland also revealed a collaboration with the father of parkour, David Belle, who has actively participated in the creation of Dying Light 2 Stay Human and lent his talent to a major in-game character.
The second episode of D2K shone a UV light on several types of enemies — including the Revenant, a brand-new infected species — and their transformation process. During the show, viewers learned about how Techland creates the terror-filled, challenging night in Dying Light 2 Stay Human. Quite a few aspects of bringing the monstrous infected alive in the game world were described. Check out the episode on Dying Light’s YouTube channel.
