BURBANK, Calif. – May 23, 2013 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
today announces Dying Light, a first-person, action survival horror video
game with a portentous day-night cycle set in a vast open world. Currently
under development by Techland, the game will be available in 2014 for Xbox
One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft,
PlayStation(R)4, plus Xbox 360, PlayStation(R)3 system, and PC.
During the day, players will traverse an expansive urban environment overrun
by a vicious outbreak, scavenging the world for supplies and crafting
weapons to defend against the growing infected population. At night, the
hunter becomes the hunted, as the infected become aggressive and more
dangerous. Most frightening are the predators which only appear after
sundown. Players must use everything in their power to survive until the
morning’s first light.
“We are excited to partner with Techland on Dying Light, which is an
original gaming experience for next-generation consoles,” said Kevin
Kebodeaux, Senior Vice President, Sales and Operations, Americas, Warner
Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The partnership with Techland allows us to
combine their successful development capabilities with Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment’s one-of-a-kind publishing expertise to deliver on
this title.”
“The next-gen technology allows us to create a truly dynamic open world that
features a game-changing day-night cycle,” said Paweł Marchewka, CEO of
Techland. “Inventive free running mechanics also allow for nearly
unrestricted exploration and weapon-crafting to further enhance the action
survival experience.”
