ABOUT THIS GAME
Over twenty years ago in Harran, we fought the virus—and lost. Now, we're losing again. The City, one of the last large human settlements, is torn by conflict. Civilization has fallen back into the Dark Ages. And yet, we still have hope.

You are a wanderer with the power to change the fate of The City. But your exceptional abilities come at a price. Haunted by memories you cannot decipher, you set out to learn the truth… and find yourself in a combat zone. Hone your skills, as to defeat your enemies and make allies, you'll need both fists and wits. Unravel the dark secrets behind the wielders of power, choose sides and decide your destiny. But wherever your actions take you, there's one thing you can never forget—stay human.

FEATURES

VAST OPEN WORLD

Participate in the life of a city engulfed in a new dark era. Discover different paths and hidden passages, as you explore its multiple levels and locations.

CREATIVE & BRUTAL COMBAT

Take advantage of your parkour skills to tip the scales of even the most brutal encounter. Clever thinking, traps and creative weapons will be your best friends.

DAY AND NIGHT CYCLE

Wait for night to venture into dark hideouts of the Infected. Sunlight keeps them at bay, but once it's gone, monsters begin the hunt, leaving their lairs free to explore.

Shape the future of The City with your actions and watch how it changes. Determine the balance of power by making choices in a growing conflict and forge your own experience.

I'm READY!

Anyone else almost as thrilled for the Next-gen patch for the first game as they are for this release? It's SO good! Best parkouring in gaming!!

My 2060S gonna melt but I'm in for the exploration and sweet RTGI.

I was pretty lukewarm on the first game but I really like the color palette of this one plus the TLOU style urban decay with bright green foliage everywhere. Hopefully this holds my attention until HFW drops. There's certainly enough gameplay to be had to fill that time :P

How many hours? FIVE HUNDRED!

Hyped. I realised today the original was my 3rd most played game on Steam behind Skyrim and Fallout 4.

Something about the formula just clicks with me.

I admit the reviews dampened a little bit of my hype but I think i'll still end up getting this.

Received my PS5 copy today, playing the tutorial right now and it's very dark inside buildings, like some light source is missing. Playing on a very good calibrated C9 with HGIG on in quality mode.
I try some other settings.
Things are kinda hard to spot too in the world. Getting TLOU vibes from the first 30 minutes.

Just cancelled my Series X pre order and bought the game on Steam instead. Super stoked! Unfortunately I can't visit new Zealand, but I suppose I can wait a little longer. Game looks like it'll be good fun!

I don't really give a shit about raytracing. Wondering how well it will run on a 2080 Super with an older 9700k CPU at 1440p with raytracing off.

Is the day 1 patch coming Thursday or Friday? GameStop called and said they're doing an early launch tomorrow (Thursday) at 9PM EST, but I know the day 1 patch is supposed to fix a lot…

Was going to hold off on this one after the initial technical impressions came in, but after seeing DF's video - feel like it's solid enough to pick up, especially since I adored the first one and had already budgeted time/money for this release. Looking forward to it, even if expectations are a bit tempered knowing every 'mode' has some kind of trade off versus a happy medium. Probably going to try the Quality RT mode first, and if I can't stomach the 30fps, switch to Performance.

I'm real salty where I am in the Midwest will be buried under a foot of snow when this launches. Guess I'm gonna have to wait until the weekend.

Can I play the whole campaign online cooperatively with 1 other player right from the beginning?
