He decides to travel to Villedor in order to search for his lost sister, Mia. The main protagonist Aiden Caldwell is a Pilgrim, an individual brave enough to make the dangerous trek between human settlements. Control of the city is split between several factions, including the militaristic Peacekeepers, the independent Survivors, and the violent Renegades. Originally quarantined by the GRE, Villedor was spared the worst of the pandemic thanks to its quarantine walls keeping the hordes of infected out of the city. The vaccine and Antizin are ineffective against the new strain of THV, but its effects can be suppressed with ultraviolet light.īy 2036, fifteen years after the Fall, much of the world's population has been wiped out, human civilization has been reduced to a handful of scattered settlements, with the fictional walled European city of Villedor being one of the largest. In 2021, a mutated variant of the virus named Tachytransmissive Harran Virus (THV) escapes a GRE lab and starts a second pandemic that spreads faster than the first, sweeping across the world in an event called 'The Fall'. Despite promises to cease all research on the virus, the GRE continued experimenting on it in secret for military purposes. The Global Relief Effort (GRE) is able to develop a vaccine for the Harran Virus, ending the threat of the zombie pandemic. The 2014 zombie outbreak in Harran (depicted in Dying Light) ended with the death of all of the city's citizens, with no reported survivors. Like its predecessor, the game features four-player cooperative multiplayer. Making certain decisions will open up or seal-off areas in the city, encouraging players to complete multiple playthroughs.

As the player explores the city, they will find inhibitors, which can be used to increase Aiden's health or stamina. Players can activate windmills to attract survivors and merchants to set up settlements. When exploring the city, players can scavenge for scrap and resources to craft new items and weapons. The map, which is four times bigger than the first game, is broken into seven distinct regions and each has its own landmarks and locations. The game is set in the city of Villedor, a massive urban open world set in Europe that players can explore freely. During the latter time of day, players can avoid zombies roaming the streets by staying on rooftops, who would otherwise hibernate inside buildings to avoid sunlight or explore the safe interior of buildings to find items. Like the first game, the zombies are slow when exposed to sunlight, but they become more aggressive and hostile at night. Aiden can utilize superhuman skills due to the infection. Weapons can be upgraded with different blueprints and components which can be found by breaking down weapons for craft parts.

Long-range weapons such as crossbows, shotguns, and spears can be used as well. The melee weapons have a limited lifespan and will degrade as the player uses them in combat.

The game is mostly melee-based with the majority of fighting using melee weapons. Aiden can also use the undead to break his fall. Tools such as a grappling hook and a paraglider also aid traversal in the city. It was confirmed that there are over 3000 parkour animations to give a more fluid free-running experience. Players can perform actions such as climbing ledges, sliding, leaping off from edges, and wall running to quickly navigate the city.
