Developed by Techland, Dying Light is scheduled for release on current and next-generation consoles, and takes the form of a sandbox-style survival horror title with a prominent day-night cycle.

Players must explore a vast urban environment during daylight hours while scavenging for supplies and cobbling together weapons to fight off the zombie-like victims of a vicious outbreak. When night falls however, these infected individuals become far more aggressive, forcing gamers into a struggle to survive until sunlight.

Dying Light is due out in 2014 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox One and Xbox 360.
