Get ready for an exciting new venture as Techland brings the thrilling world of Dying Light to the realm of board games. In collaboration with Glass Cannon Unplugged, the creators of Frostpunk: The Board Game, they’re set to launch a Kickstarter campaign for a tabletop adaptation of the game on February 27.
Designed by the talented duo, Przemysław Zub and Bartosz Tomala, Dying Light: The Board Game is a cooperative narrative adventure game for 1-4 players. Set in Villedor, the last city on Earth, players must navigate through encounters with zombie-like Infected while balancing the demands of various ruling factions. The game promises an intuitive and adaptable ruleset, an original parkour and combat system, and a day and night cycle for an immersive gaming experience.
The board game comes in two variants. The Standard Edition includes 76 standees, each with a plastic base ring. The Deluxe Version takes it up a notch with 76 high-quality plastic miniatures, including 4 Runners, 8 Bandits, 60 Infected, and 4 Large Infected Bosses, all crafted on a realistic scale of 32 mm.
Early backers of the game are in for a treat! Within the first 24 hours of the campaign, backers at the standard pledge level and above will receive an exclusive character pack for Dying Light protagonist Kyle Crane. This add-on transforms him into a fully playable character with a dedicated miniature, standee, character card, and unique weapon.

But that’s not all! Glass Cannon is also working on a board game and tabletop RPG adaptation of Blizzard’s Diablo, set to launch later this year.
In other news, Dying Light 2 has recently launched a new Reloaded Edition of the game, combining the base game with all of the DLC released so far, including the new Firearms Update.
