Players will interact with Lawan throughout the game as she also attempts to survive The City.

The plague-stricken location will change and evolve based on the decisions of protagonist Aiden Caldwell. Players will encounter a variety of unique factions throughout the game, each with their own wants and needs. Siding with these groups will have a lasting impact on the world; Aiden will need to choose his friends carefully to maintain balance or sow chaos.

The game is now scheduled to launch on Feb. 4, 2022. The open-world survival horror game will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. A cloud version of Dying Light 2 will be available for the Nintendo Switch.
