Hot off the release of brand new content, which included the free Hard Mode, for Dying Light, Techland has gone ahead and outlined its future plans for the first-person, parkour-infused zombie-action game. Although Techland CEO Paweł Marchewka's message today was mostly about thanking fans, an accompanying video teased some of the future content comign to the game. New maps, modes, skills, quests, weapons, and more were shown off.
Spoiler: You'll be channeling your inner Katniss with bows, and cruising around town in dune buggies. It's unclear if this future content will be paid-for or free; so far, Dying Light's DLC has been a mixture of both.
Dear Dying Light Fans,
I would like to take the time to send out a sincere thank you to all of you for your trust, support, and interest in Dying Light. Without you, our game could never have become such an incredible success. We are all extremely grateful and impressed by the passion and creativity you showed us. This is why we just released a new content update that each of you can enjoy completely for free. We also want to assure you this is just the start of what we will be bringing you in the Dying Light world.
We want to especially thank those who finished the game and are sending us their comments, suggestions, and recommendations. We are listening to all of them and are working to incorporate as much of your feedback as possible. You can already see a part of it in our ‘Hard Mode’ patch and this is just the beginning, as there is much more to come.
We want to hereby promise we will be actively supporting Dying Light with original content, such as new maps, modes, skills, quests, weapons, and much more. Everyone who downloaded the latest update, you can find a sneak peek of what is coming by accessing the main menu of the game. We have plenty of new content in the works, so try your hand at the new Hard Mode and stay tuned for more.
— Paweł Marchewka, Techland CEO
In addition to yesterday's free Hard Mode Patch, Techland also released the Ultimate Survivor Bundle DLC, the second content drop of Dying Light's Season Pass. With it, comes a collection of unique items to the quarantine zone, including blueprints for four "one-of-a-kind" weapons: The Constable, the Night Club, Lacerator, and Buzz Kill. The DLC also comes with three "distinctive" character outfits: the Ninja, Urban Explorer, and Special Agent. Although the Ultimate Survivor Bundle is part of the Season Pass, fans can opt to purchase it as standalone DLC for $4.99.
The third and final DLC included with Dying Light's Season Pass — The Bozak Horde — will drop in May and deliver a new map and wave-based gameplay mode, playable in single-player and co-op.
