Square Enix is now helping distribute
Dying Lightis a series that hasn’t yet been associated with Square Enix. Warner Bros. published the first game, and Techland plans to self-publish the sequel. But, Dying Light 2will be getting some help from the Japanese publisher.
Square Enix has announced that it has signed on to distribute Dying Light 2in the Americas. The extent of the partnership is kind of vague. It’s not as involved as full-fledged publishing, which includes funding development. Instead, Square Enix will probably be responsible for manufacturing physical editions and working with platform-holders to get the digital versions on the various storefronts.
However, Square Enix might also have a hand in marketing, which will come in handy in a week and a half. Square Enix’s E3 showcase takes place on Monday, June 10 and it’s confirmed thatDying Light 2will be a part of the lineup. So far, Square Enix has also committed to showing Marvel’s Avengersand theFinal Fantasy VIIremake at E3. That’s good company for Dying Light 2to be among.
We’re excited to partner with the talented folks at @TechlandGames to deliver the highly anticipated #DyingLight2 to the Americas! More to be revealed during our Square Enix E3 Live 2019 event! https://t.co/PoQw4wVGyB #SquareEnixE3 pic.twitter.com/bk2IdtH5Ia
