Some players are getting retail copies of Dying Light 2 before the February 4th launch, developers are urging players to wait for the Day 1 patch

Dying Light 2 is one of the most anticipated games of the year, but it looks like some retail copies of the game have been in the public domain before launch. The game has gone gold and is due for release on February 4, 2022, along with a day one patch, which will fix some of the game’s issues at launch.

The developers reacted to the situation on Twitter, urging fans with early retail copies not to play the game yet. The Day One patch for Dying Light 2 will include improvements and fixes that are essential to gameplay, so the developers ideally don’t want players to experience the game before it goes live.

Dying Light 2 developers urge players not to play the game just yet

The game is only a few days away from launch, so perhaps putting the game on hold right now shouldn’t be that hard. It is still unclear how early retail copies of the game ended up in players’ hands.

There is a possibility that some in-game footage will start showing up on social media due to the game being outdoors. So maybe fans of the game will want to be wary of spoilers on the internet and turn off certain phrases and words on Twitter.

This isn’t the first time this has happened with a major release, but it’s always a dangerous situation for a developer. While the game probably won’t be a cool mess in retail copies, the Day One patch will certainly help improve the overall experience of the game.

Dying Light 2 releases this Friday, February 4th, and the entire gaming community is looking forward to the game with bated breath to see what innovations Techland has in store.
