May 2024 ยท 2 minute read
Following the free Summertime update that rolled out with custom map support earlier this month, Techland has announced that the rest of 2023 will be filled with more free updates, adding firearms, a dungeon-style co-op activity called Tower Raid, and much more. Being free updates, though, it's unlikely we'll see any new Dying Light 2 achievements until 2024 when the next expansion arrives.

Similar to the Payday crossover event, Techland has revealed via a press release that four more events will be arriving in the coming months. starting with a Vampire: The Masquerade crossover sometime before Halloween so it doesn't conflict with the actual Halloween event. Looking past October, a crossover with Ubisoft's medieval brawler For Honor will go live ahead of the winter celebration at the end of the year.

As for new content, it looks like we can expect a substantial number of new additions over the next few months, including firearms. Whether they'll be conventional guns or makeshift weapons, we'll have to wait and see, but it makes it no less exciting. It'll be interesting to see if the firearms arrive alongside the new Tower Raids (co-op dungeon-style gauntlets) to freshen up the zombie-slaying experience.

Mixed in between those two big arrivals, we can also expect to see new weapons added in the form of knives and polearm weapons, a weapon repair system, new quests to complete, a fresh batch of infected variants, and several free outfits.

Techland says it'll reveal more about the upcoming content during a Discord AMA on September 26 with franchise director Tymon Smektala.

While Techland is rolling out this new content, the team is still bustling away on the next Dying Light 2 DLC, which was delayed into 2024 back in June, We did get the Bloody Ties DLC earlier this year, however, so there is plenty of content for us to enjoy while we wait for the next expansion.
