Polish studio Techland is likely working on a sequel to Dying Light, its incredibly popular open world undead-'em-up which launched in January last year. The developer recently announced that it currently has two projects on the go, and while Dying Light 2 wasn't talked about officially, the studio certainly made it sound as though a sequel is happening sooner or later.
Speaking to Eurogamer, PR manager Anna Lada-Grodzicka said that "the Dying Light brand is more important for us", when asked about the possible existence of Dead Island 2. If you'll recall, Techland actually developed Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide under publisher Deep Silver, but after the commercial success of Dying Light, published by Warner Bros, it comes as no real surprise that the studio wants to concentrate on its latest zombified property.
Funnily enough, CEO Paweł Marchewka even mentioned Dying Light 2 by name while chatting to Eurogamer, but said that he can't give an official statement on the potential sequel. All in all, it's well within reason to believe that Techland would be crafting a successor to 2015's release, and these comments, no matter how brief, at least give hints that something's bubbling away beneath the surface. We'd honestly expect to hear something more concrete before the year's out.

Great game especially coop, they should give us more of an option to lay down more traps more weapons and more Cooperative gameplay options.How about a popular city next time?
It was the game Dead Island really should've been, it was a fun if slightly repetitive Zombie game and I would welcome a sequel as Techland really did a good job supporting the game since release with update and free content.
It's an amazing game but take all the time you want to do the sequel because I still have plenty to do in the first game
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi There's a Game Genie code for that but it corrupts Level 3-2 so you have to play to that level, reset the game, and then also enter the code to skip to 3-3 to continue.
One of my favourite games on PS4 put well over 100 hours into the game. Not started the expansion yet saving it. Very happy with sequel the first game was amazing.
