Dying Light 2: Stay Human should give players plenty of opportunity to upgrade their abilities and Techland has provided a quick peek at the new skill trees you’ll be exploring when the game launches early next month. It appears things have actually been pared back a bit, as the game will feature two skill trees, while the original Dying Light launched with three and expansions added more. That said, it seems you’ll mostly be unlocking actual skills in Dying Light 2, rather than the passive buffs often handed out in the original Dying Light. There will also be two types of XP in DL2, Combat and Parkour, so you’ll have to play strategically to maximize your skill upgrades. Check the skill trees for yourself, below.
Looks like I’m going to have plenty of opportunities for jumping on zombie faces, so I’m happy. Haven’t been keeping up with Dying Light 2? Here’s the game’s official description:
Over twenty years ago in Harran, we fought the virus — and lost. Now, we’re losing again. The City, one of the last large human settlements, is torn by conflict. Civilization has fallen back into the Dark Ages. And yet, we still have hope. You are a wanderer with the power to change the fate of The City. But your exceptional abilities come at a price. Haunted by memories you cannot decipher, you set out to learn the truth… and find yourself in a combat zone. Hone your skills, as you’ll need both fists and wits. Unravel the dark secrets behind the wielders of power, choose sides and decide your destiny. But wherever your actions take you, there’s one thing you can never forget — stay human
