Techland\u2019s zombie survival game, Dying Light 2, is set to reimagine the age-old conflict between the living and the undead in the spectacular world of The City. In a world fraught with chaos and terror, only the strongest can survive, and among them is Nightrunner and close companion to the game\u2019s protagonist, Lawan. To celebrate the launch of the second installment in the franchise, Italian cosplayer Shiva has brought the character to life in a handmade outfit that is here to slay. Dying Light 2 Lawan cosplay is perfection amid the chaos Choosing to create her Lawan cosplay after she \u201cdiscovered the cosplay contest held by Techland,\u201d she notes \u201csince the contest said to choose a character from Dying Light 2, there weren\u2019t many options for a female character. Luckily I liked Lawan design.\u201d Earning her third place in the event, she notes \u201cI made the costume all from scratch, the jacket was plain faux leather, and I sewed the squares to make it quilted. The bracer and belt are made of EVA foam that I made look like leather. \u201cI\u2019m also very proud of the crossbow which I made of EVA foam, and some details I modelled and 3D printed.\u201d It\u2019s that particularly nasty-looking weapon that immediately catches your eye, as every little detail has been recreated to perfection. Telling Dexerto \u201cin general this costume wasn\u2019t difficult,\u201d she confesses \u201cbecause of its simplicity I tried to reproduce all the details faithfully,\u201d and she did just that. From head to toe you can see just how much effort has gone into this outfit. Everything beautifully mirrors her virtual counterpart. View this post on Instagram Of course, with Dying Light 2 just around the corner, Shiva\u2019s excited to finally meet the woman that inspired this outfit. \u201cAfter making the cosplay, I\u2019m very curious to play Dying Light 2,\u201d she notes, and it\u2019ll be interesting to see where her journey through The City takes her. We know one thing for sure, though: the Infected don\u2019t stand a chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dying Light 2 cosplayer slays the Infected as bloodthirsty Lawan Instagram: shiva_abarai, TechlandDying Light 2 lurks upon the horizon, and one cosplayer has suited up to slay the hordes with her fearsome recreation of Lawan.
