Dying Light Shambles To Retail On January 27
Techland and Warner Bros. have announced the release date for their undead partnership. You’ll be able to free-run and slaughter zombies on January 27.
The news comes by way of lead game designer Maciej Binkowski on Twitter. We had a chance to go hands-on with Dying Light at Gamescom to test out the traversal system. You can read more about that in our preview.
To get a look at how Techland is trying to differentiate Dying Light, you can check out a developer diary focused on the movement system. The title is coming out for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, and PC.

Our Take
The most interesting thing to me about this date is that Techland is going head-to-head with Deep Silver, which will release Gat out of Hell on the same date. As you may recall, Techland developed the first two Dead Island games.
