Meet Lawan
Rosario Dawson will be joining the survivors running across the rooftops ofDying Light 2 Stay Human. Today, Techland revealed that theSin CityandThe Mandalorianactress will be portraying a new character, Lawan, inDying Light 2.
Shown during an episode of their stream seriesDying 2 Know, Dawson will portray Lawan, a major character whose relationship with protagonist Aiden Caldwell will evolve over the course of the game.
“Is she going to be this rage-filled killer who is obsessed with her goals? Or will she be a night runner who risks her life to save others?” said Dawson of her character during today’s stream.
In terms of celebrity video game cameos, it’s a pretty cool surprise. And it’s also a solid, recurring character in this universe, which I’ve been looking to see more of fromDying Light 2as it builds up to the launch date. We’ve heard about factions and choices, but I’m keen on who the characters we’ll be dealing with will be too.
Techland also shared some insight into the recording process forDying Light 2‘s music, which took place at Abbey Road Studios, and into how music will be implemented in-game. Plus, we got a reminder that theDying Light Platinum Editionis arriving in just a few weeks on Oct. 19 for the Nintendo Switch.
Therecently pushed-back launch datestill feels a ways off forDying Light 2 Stay Human, but I’m interested to see how this particular celebrity cameo shakes out. It’s always a bit of a gamble, but Rosario Dawson is a neat choice forDying Light 2that I could see potentially working well. We’ll find out more whenDying Light 2Stay Humanlaunches on Jun 22, 2025 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch via cloud.
