Recently, Parkour founder David Belle sat down with Techland to do a short interview about the highly anticipated video game Dying Light 2! The video features David Belle talking about the video game, providing motion capture, and the video has some sneak peeks into the game including a preview of David Belle’s very own character – Hakon.
If you haven’t heard about Dying Light 2, let this be your introduction. It’s the 2nd installment of an amazingly entertaining game that was released in 2015. According to Wikipedia, “The retail version of Dying Light debuted at No. 1 on the US software sales chart, outselling heavy competitors such as Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare…. The game had sold five million units by August in the same year] More than 17 million players had played the game by December 2019.”
In regards to Dying Light 2, Wikipedia has this to say: “Dying Light 2 Stay Human is an open world first-person zombie apocalyptic-themed action role-playing game. Set 20 years after Dying Light, starring a new protagonist named Aiden Caldwell…who is equipped with various parkour skills. Players can perform actions such as climbing ledges, sliding, leaping off from edges, and wall running to quickly navigate the city. It was confirmed that there are over 3000 parkour animations to give a more fluid free running experience.”
Suffice it to say we are thrilled to see a 2nd installment of this game, thrilled to see so much Parkour being integrated, and thrilled to see David Belle play a character in the game.
