This year is going to be big for gaming, with Horizon Forbidden West and Dying Light 2 Stay Human arriving in February, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands in March, and the long-awaited Dead Space remake currently scheduled for release later in the year. Techland’s upcoming action survival horror title is one of 2022’s most anticipated, and Dying Light 2 recently became the most wishlisted game on Steam, surpassing even Elden Ring and Hollow Knight Silksong.
The original game, which came out in 2015 and sold nearly five million copies in just a few months, tells the story of Kyle Crane, who is sent into the quarantine zone of a zombie-infested city. The sequel will feature a new protagonist and setting, as well as a map four times larger than that of Dying Light. And the game’s developers have stated that Dying Light 2 will offer 500 hours of gameplay, covering the time it will take to beat the main story, side quests, uncover the entire map, find every collectible, and see all endings.
To prepare for the release of Dying Light 2 on February 4, Techland has teamed up with BenQ MOBIUZ to release a limited edition gaming monitor. The EX3210R Dying Light 2 Stay Human Night Runner’s Edition features a 32-inch curved display, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology, HDRi, a 165Hz refresh rate, and a 1 ms response time. The monitor also comes with two 2W speakers and a 5W subwoofer for those times when it’s necessary to forgo a headset. It goes on sale for $599.99 in February and can be pre-ordered beginning January 21, and those who purchase the monitor will receive a Steam code for a standard digital copy of Dying Light 2 Stay Human.
The curved screen of the EX3210R matches the shape of the human eye for a natural viewing experience, and also features a large field of view and exceptional viewing angles. BenQ’s proprietary HDRi technology uses a sensor to optimize the monitor’s dynamic range based on the room’s lighting conditions and can even add high dynamic range to non-HDR content. The monitor’s Light Tuner technology allows players to control the balance of light and dark on the display, rather than just increasing gamma or contrast. As for quality of life additions, the BenQ limited edition Dying Light 2 Stay Human monitor comes with two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, one USB 3.0 port, an earphone jack, and even a remote control.
Dying Light 2 is set 20 years after the events of the first game and tells the story of Aiden Caldwell, who has ventured into an urban setting known only as The City to find his long-lost sister. The story is meant to portray a modern Dark Age, where humanity has reached the edge of extinction due to the viral outbreak that transforms people into extremely aggressive zombies. Because the game is expected to take an incredibly long time to complete fully, Techland has promised to provide five years of post-launch support for Dying Light 2.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human releases on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on February 4, 2022.
