18 New Video Games Coming In 2015 You Need To Know About

15. Dying Light

Zombies may have had their rotting day in the sun after being in so many games now - although Call of Duty's new EXO-zombies would beg and moan to differ - but Dying Light is trying to once again do what Dead Island's trailer hinted at back in 2011; be an engaging, thoroughly polished application of the undead to somewhere you'd not normally see them. For DL it's the element of free running or parkour you'll be employing to dart up and over any of the advancing hordes, and with a string of weapons and animations designed to get you out of a pinch, it's up to Techland to put together some missions that tie everything together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j5jCEFJOmA With a day/night cycle that makes the undead transform from a lumbering but fairly docile menace into sprinting 28 Days Later-style bloodhounds it's a great way to include both 'styles' of zombie that have emerged over the last few years. Whether it'll actually be able to deliver where Dead Island failed though? That's a story soon to be told.
