In the latest Dying Light trailer, “Humanity,” we’re given a glimpse into the humans of the game – the humans who are now trapped in a quarantine zone teeming with infected. These human beings view the zombies not as just a slew of monsters to tear through, but rather, as something else entirely: people. Or, at least, they were people, before all of this happened. The survivors were all “doctors… teachers… fathers… sons,” as the narrator tells us. But so were the zombies, once.
The PlayStation Blog gives us an ever deeper look, with some comments from the game’s producer, Tymon Smektala. Smektala talks about the difficult choices the game gives you:
When traversing the city of Harran, the player will encounter survivors in a variety of situations. You may find them hidden, trapped or surrounded by the infected in the most unlikely places, calling hopelessly for help. Your help. It’s up to you whether you’ll decide to come to their aid or not. Lending a helping hand, be it out of kind heart or want for reward, is always a risk, though. The grim reality of Harran doesn’t allow any safe choices.
Dying Light’s gritty realism will grace store shelves sometime this year on the PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
