The enduring success of Dying Light is a pleasing shock. Nobody actually anticipated an excessive amount of of Techland’s Dead Island spinoff, however the studio weathered a tough launch and continued to assist the sport via patches, free content material updates and (finally) a very glorious enlargement.
Most different studios could be executed with a recreation after the inevitable Definitive Goaty Edition, however late final 12 months Techland renewed their vow to assist Dying Light effectively into 2018. We’re now three years previous the unique launch, and so they’re celebrating the occasion with reductions for newcomers and free in-game goodies for all unfold throughout February.
Leading the march throughout the festivities is a free DLC launch quickly, the third of ten small planned pieces due out by this October. There’s no phrase on what it’ll embody, however the first pack included a handful of recent craftable weapons, and the second pack added pistol silencers to the sport and subsonic ammunition, that means you could pop the occasional zombie head with out angering the swarm. There was additionally a ‘number zero’ content material drop together with a brand new faction of human enemies and a brand new heavy zombie variant, though they don’t appear to be counting that as a part of the ten.
While they’ve not spilled the beans on what it’ll entail, someday this month the sport will probably be blessed with a Valentines-themed group occasion named ‘Undying Love’. Putting the ‘romance’ in ‘necromancer’, I’m certain.
Perhaps a little bit shamelessly, Techland are utilizing the anniversary occasion to attract folks to their very own storefront, Gemly, with a 67% low cost on Dying Light and its enlargement there. Existing gamers may additionally wish to get on board due to quite a lot of free bonus merchandise and weapon unlocks for use in-game. If you’ve not picked up the sport or its enlargement, I need to say that £13.29 for the complete bundle is a reasonably whole lot, and the sport is considerably higher now than its wonky launch opinions would counsel.
As for the longer term, Dying Light’s upcoming aggressive spinoff, Bad Blood, can be looking for gamers for its upcoming world playtest occasion, in the event you really feel like signing up on Techland’s site here.
