Dying Light’s Board Game Adaptation Arrives on Kickstarter Soon

Dying Light: The Board Game is Glass Cannon Unplugged’s adaptation of the game. Via an innovative action device system, players will run, climb, jump, and fight through a cooperative narrative adventure board game. It features a modular system map and a day-night system. The game supports 1-4 players.

The Kickstarter campaign for Dying Light: The Board Game opens on February 27, 2024. 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.

Glass Cannon Unplugged has previously developed tabletop adaptations of Frostpunk and Apex Legends. The game is designed by Przemysław Zub and Bartosz Tomala.

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.
