Techland has today announced that Dying Light‘s multiplayer offerings will not just be 4 player co-op with friends, but something a little bit more exciting. Online co-op games will be susceptible to invasion by a player-controlled zombie, Techland has revealed with a brand new trailer. The player-controlled zombie will be far more efficient at killing than the run of the mill zombie type and can invade games at any time with a variety of upgradable skills.
The trailer below shows off just what this zombie can do, and holy hell is it terrifying. Resident Evil 6‘s attempts at multiplayer invasions was noble, but poorly executed due to awkward controls and balancing. Dying Light seems to have the idea and the execution down, and I’m excited to stalk some human prey come January 27, 2015.
