Following numerous delays,Dying Light 2 Stay Humanis finally out.Dying Light 2fans are busy exploring the game world, completing quests, leveling up their version of Aiden, and of course, killing hordes of zombies. Like other open world games,Dying Light 2is full of Easter eggs, and it even includes one referencing Capcom’sResident Evilfranchise. Keep in mind that this post will have someSPOILERSforDying Light 2.
Resident Evilis hailed as one of the best zombie video game franchises ever, so it’s no surprise that Techland decided to reference it inDying Light 2. The reference comes during the main quest called “Broadcast,” whereDying Light 2protagonist Aidenis tasked with restoring power. At this point in the quest, Aiden comes across a hurt Peacemaker who is named Leon, and that’s not a coincidence. While the name “Leon” by itself isn’t enough to call something aResident EvilEaster egg, what happens next certainly seals the deal.

Leon sends Aiden looking for his partner Chris, though Aiden is too late. Chris is already dead and has turned into one ofDying Light 2’s zombies. Aiden has no choice but to kill Chris before he can continue his mission, and then players can collect Chris’s dogtags. Upon examining the dogtags, players can discover that this Chris fromDying Light 2is literally named Chris Redfield, the exact same name as the character from theResident Evilfranchise.
Another notableDying Light 2Easter egg can be found at the beginning of the game. During the prologue,Dying Light 2players can find aDead IslandEaster eggin the form of a record called “Who Do You Voodoo?” This is a nod to a song performed byDead Islandcharacter Sam B, but fans shouldn’t jump to conclusions and assume this means that the games exist in the same universe. While they were both developed by Techland, Deep Silver has the rights to theDead Islandfranchise. As of the time of this writing, it’s been 10 years since the release of the originalDead Islandand the sequel is still nowhere in sight, unfortunately.
These are far from the only Easter eggs that are hiding inDying Light 2’s open world, but they’re some of the more obvious ones.Dying Light 2players will want to explore the open world thoroughly to find the other Easter eggs that developer Techland may have hidden in the game.
Dying Light 2 Stay Humanis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
