Trivia / Dying Light 2 Stay Human

• What Could Have Been: Some fans have been digging into the game's code and founds signs of cut or hidden content that never made it into the final game, and created a comprehensive list. Some of the cut content includes:
  • There were numerous minor factions that were supposed to be in the game. This includes the Vampires, a group living in Villedor's underground tunnels, the Untainted, a group a cultivates psychoactive drugs, Ikar's Group, who operate an airship, the Watchers, who patrol Villedor's quarantine wall, and over a dozen others.
  • The original intended second major faction was the Scavengers, a group of survivors who believed that trying to fight the infected was futile and instead focused on hoarding resources and secluding themselves in fortified shelters, which would put them in direct opposition with the Peacekeepers.
  • An early version of the prologue had Aiden being banished from his village after being bitten, forcing him to make the journey to Villedor and gaining access by scaling the quarantine wall surrounding it.
  • An early version of the game's climax involved the player or an NPC faction capturing Waltz and turning him over to the Peacekeepers. This would trigger a three way war between the Peacekeepers, Scavengers, and Renegades whose outcome the player could influence.
  • There was a cut region called Elyseum, which appeared to have been a much higher class district of Villedor and had major landmarks including a cathedral and abandoned military base.
  • There was an untitled "Region 6" which would have contained a landmark called Orla Castle, which would serve as the main headquarters for the Peacekeepers.
  • The Downtown District in the Central Loop was originally supposed to be its own region with far more unique buildings and interiors.
  • Other minor regions that were cut include "Region 4", an outdoor region, and the Catacombs, which covered the ancient underground tunnels underneath Villedor.
  • The game was originally going to include animals and wildlife, some of which may have been enemies such as wolves.
  • In addition to infected chases during the night, older builds of the game apparently had Peacekeeper chases during the day, as well.
  • Juan was originally going to be the faction leader of the Scavengers before being changed into the Peacekeeper's quartermaster.
  • Aiden's parents would have been characters in game.
  • Waltz was originally simply a scientist rumored to have created a cure for the infection, which was why Aiden was seeking him out in the first place.
