Dying Light Parkour by day, hunted at night
A first-person zombie survival game in a ruined open-world city, built for four friends to run rooftops, scavenge supplies, craft weapons, and take on the story campaign together. Day is for hunting, night is for being hunted, and both are better shared.

The full campaign in 4-player co-op
You and up to three co-op friends can tackle the whole story campaign as a team, moving through the same virus-hit city and the same hard choice between loyalty and saving survivors. It is built around joining up to raise your chances, so one of you loots while another watches the street, and a bad fight turns survivable. You drop off a ledge, roll, vault a fence, and keep running while the horde piles up behind you. Having friends nearby makes the failures funny instead of lonely.
Parkour that keeps the group moving
The city is made for climbing, with parkour that lets you scale buildings and reach remote areas most zombies cannot follow. On the ground you are food. On the roofs you have options, and co-op turns that into a habit: follow the friend who knows the route, split up to scavenge supplies, then meet on a rooftop to trade and craft. Movement feels fast and free once it clicks, and a missed jump just means your friends get to watch you sprint for the nearest safe ladder.
Scavenge, craft, and fight dirty
Everything runs on what you find. You roam, scavenge for supplies, and craft weapons from scraps, then pair them with the surroundings to handle crowds. Melee does the heavy work, with gory close combat and different weapon types and abilities to suit whoever likes swinging and whoever likes hanging back. One friend can craft a shock mod, another can bring the heavy pipe, and a doorway full of infected suddenly looks manageable.
Nights that test the friendship
The day and night cycle flips the roles. By day you are the hunter, clearing streets and stocking up. At sundown you become the hunted, with faster threats that punish anyone caught staring at the map. You can face it or run without looking behind, and with friends the second choice gets democratic fast. You grab the supplies, someone calls the safehouse, and all four of you sprint across rooftops while the city goes dark. Survive one night together and the next morning loot run feels earned.
What should co-op friends know?
How does co-op actually work?
Four players can join forces in co-op and play through the story campaign together. Expect shared scavenging, shared fights, and a much better survival rate when someone watches your back while you loot or craft.
What do we do together night after night?
By day, you roam the city, gather supplies, and clear objectives. At night the danger rises and you shift from hunter to hunted, so the group choice is simple: take on the threat for better rewards or run for the nearest safe spot together.
Is it more action or more sneaking around?
Mostly action with room to be clever. You use parkour to avoid crowds, stealth when it helps, and gory melee plus crafted weapons when it does not. Different weapon types, abilities, and the environment give each friend a useful job in a fight.
