Dying Light 2 datamine uncovers video and audio of presumed story DLC
A YouTuber named Bub has uploaded a video to YouTube featuring over 10 minutes of never-before-seen content datamined from Dying Light 2: Stay Human. There’s no way of knowing exactly what this content is, but it looks like a substantial DLC pack. The video includes placeholder dialogue spoken in Polish but translated to English, game environments, storyboards, rough cutscene sequences, and other information regarding the scale of the content and its gameplay.
The content is set in and around the Astrid Opera House, a huge 200m – 130m building with at least three storeys, a basement and, this being Dying Light 2, almost certainly a rooftop. The opera house has been repurposed as a gladiatorial arena, where hopefuls take part in battle royale style matches in order to earn prizes and kudos. But this isn’t just a tacked-on arena mode — there’s at least 2,000 dialogue lines’ worth of story in it, told largely through four major new characters: Astrid, the arena boss, two veteran gladiators (one loyal to Astrid, the other her enemy), and a younger gladiator who’ll fill the role of the player’s buddy NPC.

There’ll also be two endings, presumably depending on which of the veteran gladiators you help or hinder, arena challenges in both combat and parkour, and shields will be introduced for the first time. And it won’t all be slugging it out with human gladiators. The opera house’s basement is dark, damp, confined, and so therefore a hotbed of infected activity. And the same can be said of the new “Prison” location, which is only shown briefly, but looks like a castle from the outside and, in a line of dialogue, is described as an “infected warehouse”.
