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."
