Thus far, much of what we’ve seen and heard about Dying Light 2: Stay Human has focused on the game’s world, characters, and other new mechanics, but today Techland opted to focus strictly on the game’s zombies (or “monsters” as they insist on calling them). A new Dying Light 2 gameplay trailer shows a tense tour through an overrun hospital, during which the player encounters all manner of different monsters, including sound-sensitive “Sleeping Beauties,” gross puss-oozing beasties, and more powerful zombie variants like the Demolisher and Volatile. Check it out below.
If you’d like to know more about how Techland went about creating their latest monstrosities, you can watch Dying 2 Know Episode 2, below.

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
