Dying Light delayed to February 2015

Techland has pushed back the release of their zombie survival game Dying Light to February 2015 in order to fully realize their “vision of an innovative open-world game.” The Polish developer apparently didn’t eat their fill with their previous open-world zombie survival game, Dead Islandand want to just keep the feeding frenzy going.

In a press release, Techland stressed that “the Natural Movement element of our game will change what you expect from the genre, and we don’t want to sacrifice any of its potential by releasing too early. This quality-focused thinking underlines all our development choices and we hope you share our belief that the gameplay must always come first.”

The game was originally slated for March 31 of this year. The developers promised that more features of the game will be shared next month at E3.

3 new PS Plus games to play this weekend
players fighting each other in Chivalry 2.

It's Black Friday weekend, so you might have found a good deal on a PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, or PS Plus Premium or Extra subscription. If you got that last one, then you're probably looking at the vast catalog of Sony's video game subscription service and wondering where you should start. To help with that, I want to spotlight three great games that came to the higher tiers of PS Plus earlier this month. Download any of these, and that discount you got a PS Plus subscription with will start to feel like a steal.
Dying Light 2

Techland's Dying Light titles are some of the best zombie video games out there. They not only feature some extremely satisfying and brutal combat, but they also have fun open worlds to explore thanks to an intricate parkour system. Dying Light 2: Stay Human goes bigger, giving players more gameplay options, like a paraglider for traversal and the power to change the world and story with certain choices. While we're nearly a month past Halloween at this point, this zombie game is still well worth your time.

Oh hey, GTA 5 is back on PlayStation Plus this month

November's PlayStation Plus lineup is packed with games this month, both in terms of quality and quantity. However, with Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon (hopefully sometime next year), arguably the biggest addition is Grand Theft Auto 5, which is back on the subscription service after leaving earlier this year.

There's not much to say about GTA 5 that hasn't already been said. It's one of the bestselling games of all time and still holds up more than 10 years after release. It's likely you already own it on some platform, but if you somehow don't or just want to play it on the PlayStation 5 or 4, you can play it for free with an Extra or Premium subscription.

Dying Light: The Beast brings back Kyle Crane in a new open-world title

After a cryptic tease from host Geoff Keighley prior to the event, Techland showed up to Gamescom Opening Night Live to reveal the next entry in the open-world zombie franchise, Dying Light: The Beast. This will be a full, open-world sequel said to be around 20 hours in length.

Techland's Dying Light franchise began in 2015 with the original title and its sequel in 2022. With how much DLC support that first game got, many expected the sequel would receive the same treatment; however, Dying Light: The Beast will be a standalone entry in the franchise.
