In partnership with Techland, Glass Cannon Unplugged is preparing to launch a Kickstarter campaign for “Dying Light: The Board Game,” the tabletop adaption of the hit horror survival video game. Fans of the parkour zombie game can back the project on Kickstarter when the campaign opens on February 27, 2024.
Designed by Przemysław Zub and Bartosz Tomala, “Dying Light: The Board Game” is a cooperative narrative adventure game designed for 1-4 players. Set in the last city on Earth, Villedor, players must survive encounters with the zombie-like Infected as they balance the demands of the various ruling factions. “Dying Light: The Board Game” provides an intuitive and easy-to-learn ruleset that can adapt to dynamic playstyles and narratives. It features an original, adrenaline-fueled parkour and combat system that makes full use of an expansive city map and an impactful day and night cycle.
Perhaps one of the neatest features of the proposed game is its modular game board. The city of Villedor is brought to life through a double-sided game board and 3D structures. The Deluxe Version of the game will be further brought to life by detailed miniatures. While the Standard Edition includes 76 standees, each with a plastic base ring, the Deluxe Version elevates this with 76 high-quality plastic miniatures crafted on a realistic scale of 32 mm. These include 4 Runners, 8 Bandits, 60 Infected, and 4 Large Infected Bosses.
In 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 allows him to become a fully playable character with a dedicated miniature, standee, character card, and unique weapon.
“Dying Light: The Board Game” is being created as part of a long-term licensing partnership between Glass Cannon Unplugged and Techland. The game offers a modular experience that will be supported by several planned add-ons and expansions.
