Today Techland has announced that it will be adding some free DLC to Dying Light that will introduce a new hard mode to the game in response to some players who aren’t finding the game enough of a challenge.
As well as the new level of difficulty, the free add-on will also bring a few new skins to the zombie table.
The hope is that hard mode will make the tough night phases even more dangerous, with Volatiles proving fatal and undead enemies proving more deadly than usual. Stealth will be of paramount importance to survive. Or you can do what we do and cower in a building until morning comes.
Hard Mode will feature various changes to the gameplay including:
- Ramped up nighttime difficulty
- Deadlier and more vicious foes
- Increased need for stealth and silence
- Scarce resources and supplies
- … and plenty of other additions
Dying Light’s upcoming free hard mode update will be “coming soon”
