Dying Light 2 is an upcoming sequel to the successful First Person Shooter Zombie Game that is due to release sometime in 2020. I designed and created this luxury collectors edition mock up as a proposed pre order limited run.

I sampled and replicated existing assets from the original game to give the deliverables some context. The design is aimed to give an immersive experience that draws to the original for entertainment of the audience that had experienced the first Dying Light game.

The text "Search dead bodies for loot." combined with the fleshy texture and exposed ribcage was made to simulate the interaction in game when gathering from deceased enemies.

I wanted the collectables to physically represent in game assets to give the immersive feel that the product was straight out of the game world. The collectables included evacuation notices, themed medical gauze, 'Antizin' viral suppressant vials and an 'Antizin' injection gun. In addition the set included DLC (downloadable content) code cards and the game disk with case. Place holders were made for some assets to allow for time constraints.

The whole design considered the experience of unpacking the collectors edition and made sure that from start to finish the users expectations would build up as they unpacked the contents. The finishing touch was the box style that once unpacked would flatten to create a wall mounted map, framed by the ribcage that once again does justice to the games genre and overall style.
