Following early successes, Techland eventually developed its first game, Prawo Krwi (The Law of Blood), in 1995 — inspired by then-popular hits like Mortal Kombat and Streets of Rage.

No doubt, Dying Light 2 is a product of the COVID era, and will be examined through that lens. In that regard, its predecessor comes from a time that seems a bit more quaint by the standards of the new normal of 2022. While its gameplay has improved over the years, its narrative focusing on a government agent playing different sides of a conflict during a growing global pandemic has not aged as gracefully.
