Finally, Techland said it will invite press and content creators to play the game and share their thoughts soon, and the studio will have "some exciting news" to reveal later this month.

February 2022 is shaping up to be a massive month for new releases. Dying Light 2 joins a growing roster of delayed games that got moved to February 2022, including Horizon: Forbidden West, The King of Fighters XV, and Sifu. Also coming that month is Destiny 2's Witch Queen expansion and the Saints Row reboot. Get those wallets ready, everyone.
