In theory, Dying Light should be a fantastic game. It takes endless zombie hordes and combines them with Mirror's Edge-esque parkour mechanics. However, the game is being developed by Techland – the studio behind the thoroughly ordinary Dead Island series – so we're reserving our judgement for the time being.
At any rate, the open world zombie slaughter-fest will be launching for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on 27th January in North America, and 30th January in Europe. What's more, if you preorder the title you'll be treated to a nifty bonus that will allow you to assume the role of one of the brain-dead beasties and invade a friend's game.
Will you be picking up Dying Light early next year, or are you getting sick of zombie games? Double tap in the comments section below.

Yea, not going into this with very high expectations due to Techland's involvement.
I hope we get the real zombie apocalypse soon b/c I'm so sick of games, movies and tv shows about zombies.
I know, I know, I dont have to play them or comment, but they're everywhere.
This game looks fun, I hope it's better than Dead Island.
done by the same people who did dead island?
well I'm not getting it then
Techlands only decent game was Bound in Blood.
Dead Island wasnt as bad as The Cartel though.
Still a junk dev.
Especially as a lot of "Indie" devs can turn out games of better quality with far less money.
@XFsWorld Itd be difficult not to be.
But Techland.
I enjoyed Dead Island, so many flaws, but just stupid fun.
@rjejr it'd be better than an object from space hitting the earth, and killing us all as an apocalypse. So I agree with you in a way.
This game has the potential to be awesome! But we'll have to wait and see. Although it'd be nice to get a more zombie games like how the walking dead SHOULD be as a game(referring to survival instinct as not that great), because TellTale's was good, just a different style.
Techland has done good games. The second Call of Juarez was great, and I liked Gunslinger.
@get2sammyb Gunslinger was Ubisoft I think.
But I'm with on Bound in Blood, that was class.
I've actually been looking forward to this game. I'm gonna wait a couple weeks after it releases though just to see what the ratings are. So far Pushsquare has been dead on (pun intended) with them so I'll trust what they say
@SuperSilverback exactly, it was a lot of fun, some people are just plain mean.
I've seen a fair amount of gameplay for dying light and it looks really good, I'm not sure what the complaints might be, so what if its a zombie game.
I really enjoyed dead island. I can't explain why, but I really enjoyed it.
I thought the dead island games were great fun. I enjoyed them a lot and look forward to this game.
@Bad-MuthaAdebis glad im not the only one!
I haven't played the Dead Island games but there seems to be a lot of hate. Are they really that bad, or is it just cool to dislike them? Serious question.
@glassmusic Techland are notoriously junk at making games. The Cartel, Dead Island, Dead Island DLC, Riptide. But if you just want a bit of co op fun and to run around slashing up zombies with a sword then its actually fun.
Too bad they destroyed a potentially great franchise in Call of Juarez.
Me and a friend is ready to play Dying Light
@ToOGoodOfAPlaya Gunslinger was great.
@Shellybird27 Yeah, actually that was great.
