That’s how it worked for Dying Light 1 and there’s no real reason it would deviate from this approach, especially after Techland promised such extensive post-launch support.
#Dying light the following canon ending update
Dying Light 2 will serve as a new platform for Techland to continually update and monetize for the coming years. After all, even this title isn’t a direct continuation of its predecessor’s story – set 20 years later, it’s possible to enjoy it even with basic knowledge of the setting and circumstances. While a sequel may release several years down the line, it’s highly unlikely to continue Dying Light 2’s story. What happened to the cure for Mia? Was it lost in the destruction of X13? Could there potentially be any remaining data or research that’s stored outside of the city? How does life in Villedor change going forward? Of course, there are still plenty of lingering questions. Lawan can come with if you made the right decisions but it’s fairly open-ended as to where the story goes next. Regardless of your decision, however, Aiden will decide to leave The City and resume his journey while still being infected.
The faction most favored by Aiden then controls Villedor. Or save Mia (while Hakon saves Lawan), thus resulting in X13 being destroyed and The City being saved though Mia dies shortly after due to being weakened. Aiden must make a choice though: save Lawan (while Hakon saves Mia), evacuating X13 and letting the missiles hit Villedor, resulting in most of the population being killed. Lawan then comes up with a plan to destroy the missiles before they can even launch using explosives. Cue a final showdown between Aiden and Waltz ending in the latter’s defeat. The experiments were a means to find a cure for her and despite the countdown to the missile strikes, Waltz refuses to stop it (since Mia’s cure could be compromised in the process). Waltz gets the key and heads to X13, a lab that was originally meant to be a shelter for the GRE (and also the place where Aiden was experimented on as a child).Īs Aiden and Lawan confront Waltz, it’s revealed that Mia isn’t Aiden’s sister after all but actually Waltz’s daughter.
Without going over every single detail, Aiden eventually meets a GRE doctor named Veronika Ryan and while accessing the GRE database to learn more about Mia, accidentally triggers missile strikes that will decimate Villedor. Then there are the different factions like the Renegades, Peacekeepers and Survivors. From there, he interacts with a number of different characters including Hakon, a former Nightrunner Lawan, who he must give the GRE key to and of course, Waltz who wants the GRE key for his own purpose. At the beginning, Aiden obtains a GRE electronic key from an informant and is warned that Villedor will be in trouble if Waltz gets his hands on it.īeing infected also doesn’t help Aiden’s cause as he ventures into The City for more answers. When both were children, they were subject to experiments by the mysterious Dr. Spoilers abound so if you haven’t finished the game, turn back now.īy now, you know the set-up – protagonist Aiden Caldwell comes to Villedor aka The City in order to search for his sister Mia. While Techland has already outlined some of the updates coming in the next few months, Dying Light 2’s story does open up some interesting avenues for the game’s future. The developer’s long-term support contributed to the same so the appeal of a sequel providing even more Dying Light content for hardcore players – that too with at least five years of support – is hard to resist. It’s not too surprising, all things considered – despite releasing in 2015, the first Dying Light had more than 17 million players by the end of 2019. Techland’s Dying Light 2 Stay Human is out now and garnering a fair bit of attention, with a peak concurrent player count of 274,983 on Steam.
