Dying Light Opening Cinematic Released by Techland

Written by Brandon Hofer on December 10, 2014

News: The opening cinematic for Dying Light has been revealed to whet your appetite for what is to come in late January on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

With Dying Light coming out soon, Techland has just released the opening cinematic to show it off a bit. The intro paints the background for a mysterious outbreak in the ill-fated city of Harran which the rest of the world can do little to help, setting the stage for a political tug-of-war between Harran’s Ministry of Defense and the Global Relief Effort - a privately funded international humanitarian organization.

Entering the quarantine zone established to contain the unknown plague, players will assume the role of Kyle Crane, an undercover operative sent on an infiltration mission that at first seems both necessary and morally clear, yet in reality turns out to be just a move in a game of chess for the highest stakes.

Dying Light is currently slated to be released on January 27 in the Americas, January 28 in Asia, Australia and New Zealand and January 30 in Europe. It will be available on the Xbox One, PS4 and the PC. Will you be picking up Dying Light? Check out the opening cinematic below and tell us what you think.
