Dying Light physical release delayed outside North America

Dying Light has run into a snag resulting in a delay to physical copies outside North America.

Dying Light will launch digitally worldwide on January 27, but the physical release has been pushed back.

"There will be a short delay in the release of physical copies of Dying Light in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia," a statement on the game's official Facebook page advised.

"As physical production has a longer lead time than digital there is some delay in the aforementioned territories. We will share information on the availability of physical copies as soon as it is confirmed."

The zombie survival game from the original developer of Dead Island is coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
