10 Upcoming Open World Games We're Most Excited For

7. Dying Light

Dying Light comes to us courtesy of developer Techland, the team responsible for the Call of Juarez series and the recent zombie game Dead Island. The game promises a large open world swarming with zombies in which it is the player's job to survive. The map is modeled after South American favelas, or slums, and is rumoured to have a heavy emphasis on free running. Don't count on Walking Dead-style shooting massacres in Dying Light, though €“ here, the zombies are an actual threat that only gets worse at night. Yes, you read that right €“ once the sun sets, the zombies of Dying Light become stronger, faster, and harder to slip by. Pretty much, don't be caught unprepared once it gets dark! In addition to the exciting single player, the developers have confirmed that there is split-screen co-op and a four player multiplayer mode. Also, a pre-order bonus is being offered that allows players to become a zombie in someone else's game world. Dying Light doesn't have a release date yet but it is supposed to come out sometime in 2014, the height of the zombie media craze. The game looks like it offers a fresh and unique take on the genre, and that's definitely a reason to be excited.
