Skills & Progression | |
Character enhancement revolves around acquiring superior equipment and unlocking new 'moves' or 'skills' through progression. Players pilot and customize modular 'Arsenal' mechs, salvaging parts from defeated enemies to upgrade every component. Out-of-mech pilot customization is also expanded with new skills and augmentations. |
Aiden has two main skill trees: Combat (unlocking new melee moves, weapon proficiency, and toughness) and Parkour (unlocking advanced traversal abilities like wall runs, slides, and improved jumps). Skill points are earned by performing combat actions and parkour maneuvers respectively. Inhibitors, found in GRE containers, are used to upgrade Health and Stamina, which also gate access to higher-tier skills. Crafting allows Aiden to create weapon mods, consumables (medkits, boosters), and throwable items using scavenged resources. Blueprints for crafting are found or earned. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
The game shifts from instanced missions to a single, enormous, and seamless open world called the Blue Planet. The world features diverse biomes like shattered cities, frozen wastelands, and desolate fields, with dynamic weather systems that directly impact gameplay. |
The City of Villedor is significantly larger than Harran from the first game, divided into two main districts: Old Villedor (a more classic European-style area with smaller buildings, easier for early parkour) and the Central Loop (a modern downtown area with skyscrapers, requiring advanced parkour tools like the grappling hook and paraglider). There are also surrounding areas, GRE Quarantines, and Dark Hollows. The map is dense with verticality, encouraging rooftop traversal. |

Multiplayer Details | |
The entire main story is playable in up to three-player online co-op with a seamless drop-in/drop-out system. The game also features multiplayer raids against titanic bosses and asynchronous online features like placing outposts to help other players. |
Features a 4-player online cooperative mode, allowing players to experience the entire main story campaign and most side activities together. Players can join a host's game, and progression is largely tied to the host, though players retain their character progression and inventory. Co-op enhances combat and exploration with team tactics. |
extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
Details on different game editions are yet to be announced. A playable demo covering the first nine chapters will be released, with save data transferring to the full game. |

Frequently Asked Questions | |
|
|
build Technical Details | |
Graphics & Visual Fidelity | |
N/A | Powered by Techland's C-Engine, the game showcases a detailed and dilapidated urban environment. It features advanced lighting, dense geometry, volumetric fog, and detailed character/infected models. Ray tracing options (Global Illumination, Shadows, Reflections, Ambient Occlusion) are available on PC and current-gen consoles, significantly enhancing visual fidelity but also being very demanding. |
Audio & Soundtrack | |
N/A | Original score composed by Olivier Deriviere, featuring a dynamic system that adapts the music to gameplay intensity and player actions (e.g., during parkour sequences or intense combat). Sound design emphasizes visceral melee impacts, distinct infected vocalizations, and the atmospheric tension of night-time exploration. The Biomarker's ticking sound adds to the infection mechanic's urgency. |
User Interface (UI/UX) | |
N/A | First-person HUD displaying health, stamina, infection timer (biomarker), equipped weapon/tool, and objective markers. A compass aids navigation. Crafting and inventory menus are accessible. Skill trees are visually represented. The day-night cycle and infection status are prominent UI elements. |
Accessibility Options | |
N/A | Offers a range of accessibility options: customizable controls (key remapping on PC), subtitle customization (size, background, speaker names), colorblind modes, options to change QTEs from taps to holds, aim assist, adjustable FOV (PC), motion blur toggle, head bob toggle, and various audio/visual cues. |
