The obvious question that comes to mind when thinking about Dying Light 2 is: is there Dying Light 2 co-op?

Cooperation in Dying Light 2

The short answer is yes. Dying Light 2 will feature a co-op campaign. Similar to the first Dying Light from 2015, the sequel will include a full cooperative playthrough of your story with up to four players.

The whole game was made with co-op in mind. Completing main and side missions will save progress for all the players individually, and not only for the host of the game. You can jump in and out of the session with your friends. Every piece of loot you will find is individual for every player. This means there is no way of stealing loot from your friends like in Borderlands 2.

The possibilities are endless. Just imagine swinging and using a para glider through the city of Dying Light 2 with your friends, doing parkour stunts and eliminating enemies in the most creative ways in coordinated attacks. I can only imagine the compilations and viral videos on YouTube that will trend after the game’s release on February 4, 2022.

Dying Light 2 CO-OP Player Count

In Dying Light 2 Stay Human you can team with up to three other players. The game offers 2-4 player cooperation campaign. You can play with one friend, with two friends or even three friends. The more, the merrier. 

Similar to the first Dying Light, the prologue section of the game has to be played alone, so you get a better understanding of the game's core mechanics. After that, Dying Light offers a full cooperative open world experience, including the ending. In the first game the finish had to also be played solo, Dying Light 2 Stay Human differs on that front. You can end the main campaign with your friend or friends.

Dying Light 2 CO-OP Gameplay

A short 30-second teaser already showcased some of the possibilities of playing in co-op with your friends. We can see four players wielding different weapons like a bow or a hatchet. The action is shown from the perspective of every single player one by one. We can see a glimpse of teamwork and team parkour in action.

Dying Light 2 is a perfect co-op game with a lot of action and smooth gameplay that will give a lot of fun to all the players enjoying the game. It is worth mentioning that the game will support full cross play over time. I personally cannot wait to jump into Dying Light 2 with some of my friends and wreck chaos, jump around and master the arts of combat.


Dying Light 2 Stay Human is scheduled to release on February 4, 2022, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One X/S, and Xbox Series X/S.
