Perhaps now more than ever the worlds of video games and tabletop gaming come together in a match made in heaven and this new Dying Light RPG might be a prime example of that wonderful marriage.
Check out the Dying Light: The Board Game trailer below!
In ourreview ofDying Light 2: Stay Human, we said: “Techland’s long-awaited zombie RPG mostly delivers the goods in style, providing an expansive - if not entirely original - open-world playground that’s filled with epic action, pleasingly brutal combat, and some difficult choices. The end of the world has never been so entertaining.”

The board game adaptation will be playable for one to four players and will incorporate the Dying Light day and night cycle mechanics in which zombies become more powerful when night falls. However, if you dare venture out into the night amongst the rabid hordes, your rewards will be greater. That’s assuming that you survive the night.
Dying Light: The Board Gamewill also bring in parkour gameplay mechanics, a staple of this series. As you explore the city and complete missions, your character will level up alongside your in-game achievements as with any good RPG. To make this game even more immersive for the player, not only is the board designed to replicate the streets of Dying Light but it will also come with 3D structures and of course, a whole host of miniatures.
