The Gamer published a report about the allegedly toxic working conditions at the Polish developer, and Techland has since denied these allegations. The development has been dogged by reports of misconduct on the part of Techland, and lead writer Chris Avellone was fired from the game after sexual misconduct accusations. The development of Dying Light 2 has been somewhat rocky. A tweet from the official Dying Light Twitter account responded to a fan questioning the game being in development hell by saying it'd simply revealed the game too early. Dying Light 2 was originally projected to have a release date sometime in 2020, but it missed that release window and delayed the game indefinitely. Techland revealed in May that the game would release on Dec. Similarly, Dying Light 2 will have co-op for two to four players, and Techland encourages players to check out how different each player's game is: 'Host your own games or join others and see how their choices have played out differently than yours.' When will Dying Light 2 release? Dying Light had a co-op mode, which allowed up to four players to join together to take on the hordes of Harran. The day/night also offers high risk/high reward gameplay, as the zombie nests can be looted at night for valuable items such as medicine. Aiden will be fighting humans as well as zombies - both enemies of whatever faction he sides with and others who can't be reasoned with.

The game's combat is heavy on melee weapons rather than guns, as shown in Techland's May 2021 gameplay demonstration.
