Dying Light 3 poll asks who you'd like to play in a new game
Who do you want to star in a third Dying Light game?
A Techland lead is putting out feelers about a potential Dying Light 3.
As first reported by Eurogamer earlier today on April 19, Dying Light franchise lead Tymon Smektała took to Twitter to ask fans how they'd feel about a potential third game. Specifically, Smektała asks fans if they'd rather the protagonist of a Dying Light 3 be a plain old survivor, Nightrunner, Pilgrim, or GRE Agent turned good.
DISCLAIMER: This is not Dying Light 3 announcement :)But - we were chatting today overseeing last details for the Gut Feeling update (3 days to go!), and we couldn't agree... ...so please help: if we do DL3, would you be most excited if the main hero was (as a "profession"):April 17, 2023
It's obvious to note that this isn't confirmation of Dying Light 3 being in the works in any way. Smektała's tweet begins with this very statement from the outset, and you'd think that if Dying Light 3 was in active development at Techland, the studio would have already settled on a protagonist for the new sequel.
Smektała hasn't provided any additional information on his stance towards a Dying Light 3 since this tweet. The final result in the poll saw the 'GRE Agent turned good' option take the crown, followed relatively closely behind by the 'Just a Survivor' option, which is pretty much the protagonist from the original Dying Light.
Dying Light 2 is still in active development at Techland, with a transmog system and overhauled combat set to roll out this month in April. Additionally, the studio is even developing a brand new IP, which is going to take a hell of a lot of time and resources to bring to fruition alongside Dying Light 2's ongoing DLC. In other words, even if Dying Light 3 is real, don't expect to see anything of it for a good few years.
