As revealed by Techland, Dying Light 2 is already one of Steam’s most-played games ever, despite only recently launching. The new game was released just last week on February 4 after more than a year of delays. In spite of its troubled development, Dying Light 2 received mostly positive reviews, with reviewers praising its gameplay, large open-world, and RPG elements. However, some of its drawbacks seem to include technical issues and a lackluster story, despite having a larger focus on narrative than its predecessor.
Thankfully, it’s likely that the issues that Dying Light 2 currently has will eventually be resolved as developer and publisher Techland has promised that it plans to support the game for at least five years after its release. The support that the studio mentions includes post-game content such as new stories, locations, and events that could help enrich the game further. The support can also be assumed to include plans to fix technical issues the game has, something that's already happening with patches. Even at its launch, over 1000 Dying Light 2 bugs were fixed in its day one patch.
