Celebrating five years since launch
Five years after launch,Dying Lightis still hanging in there (and then some). Techland is celebrating the parkour zombie survival game’s fifth birthday with a month ofin-game events including new weapon DLC, a new difficulty option below Normal calledStory Mode, and afree weekend promoon Steam.
Dying Lightis free to play on PC until 10:00 a.m. on June 12, 2025.It’s also discounted.
Story Mode plays around with a handful of factors to make life easier. Zombies deal less damage, you deal more, the impact of falls has been cut in half, and you won’t run out of stamina nearly as much.
The best part? You’ll lose 50% less XP if you die, days are 25% longer, nights are 25% shorter, and traders will pay 20% more for your wares. On the flip side, Story Mode dishes out 50% less Legend experience.
Out of curiosity, I checked today’s most-played games list on Steam –Dying Lightisin the top 50with just over 15,000 concurrent players at the time of writing this post. The legs on this game!
I knowDying Light 2‘s production hasn’t been the easiest – reminder: it slipped out of itsspring 2020 launch windowand no longer has an estimate – but Techland has to be feeling good about the sequel. This series has done nothing but grow its fan base over the past five years. It’ll hit the ground running.
