Dying Light 2 Package Hints at Upcoming Event
When my roommate told me a package arrived at our door for me, I was pretty sure I didn’t order anything. Turns out Techland sent me a little package of Dying Light 2 goodies that gives a good idea of what’s to come.
The package contained four items, one of which was just a Dying Light 2 sticker to stick on something. The real content of importance is a poster of the game, a note, and a UV light. Here’s a picture of it all laid out on my bedroom floor if you want to see it.
First, the note. It has the following message on it:
“Hello, survivor!
Remember Harran?
Of course you do. But all that– that was just the beginning… Now The City is our refuge, and it needs your help.
Want to know more?
You will, but you’ll have to hunt. I had to hide the info– this place isn’t safe. Track down the clues and remember, it’s all for your eyes only. This message cannot fall into the wrong hands.
You’re our last chance, survivor!“
If you’re wondering, Harran is a city in the country of Turkey that served as the setting for the original Dying Light. At the end of The Following expansion for the game, the wall of the city is breached and the virus that was originally contained there has become a worldwide problem.”The City” is the setting of the sequel, though which city it is hasn’t been defined yet. As for the clues…
The other major part of this package was a poster and a UV flashlight. When you shine the light on the poster three messages appear: “Dying 2 Know” with the word ‘Know’ underlined, “Twitch.tv/techland,” and “27th of May 9pm CEST.” There’s also bloodstains on both the poster and the note, but no other hidden messages as far as I can tell.
So, it seems like you’re going to want to tune into Techland’s Twitch for a Dying Light 2 presentation on May 27th, hopefully with a release date included. While you wait for that, you can add the game to your Wishlist over on Steam.
