According to Techland, one of the biggest ones revolves around the finale of Dying Light: The Following and more specifically which of the ending is canonical. Here s their reply:
Tymon Smektala (Lead Game Designer): It s still a bit too early to tell you, but let me just say that the events in Dying Light 2 and the events that lead up to Dying Light 2 are very strongly connected with what happened in the first game. When you play Dying Light 2, you ll surely discover the answer to this big question.
New Details On Dying Light 2 s Factions, Open-World Events, And Whether Characters Will Return
Today s Dying Light 2 AMA also goes over some key story details.
Dying Light 2 developer Techland has released another AMA video, answering the most-asked questions about its upcoming game. Today s video doesn t touch on as many gameplay subjects as the last Dying Light 2 AMA, instead focusing on the upcoming game s characters, story, and various factions.
With Dying Light 2 set several years after Dying Light 1 and in a different part of the world, fans of the franchise were eager to learn if any characters would be returning. Dying Light 2 lead game designer Tymon Smektała answered, saying that we wouldn t see any familiar faces from Dying Light 1 return. So Dying Light 2 takes place in a completely different place and quite a lot of years after the events of the first one, Smektała said. For that reason, you will not encounter any returning characters from the first game.
