Game Updates:

Tower Raid Open Beta

For the next three weeks, you can play the new Tower Raid activity in Update 1.17. This challenge is inspired by Dying Light 2's VNC Tower mission. The goal is to reach the top of the tower to get special loot. Each floor has different challenges and modifiers.

Start the Tower Raid by unlocking Jai’s Board through the “Lost Armory” side quest in the Central Loop. You'll earn Jai’s Reputation Points and Tokens, which can be used to buy new items. The Tower Raid is available until July 18, so be sure to try it and give your feedback.

Economy Rebalance

The game now lets you earn more scraps and trophies from different sources, making crafting easier. You’ll find more scraps on human enemies, and blueprints are now clearer and easier to use.

Jai’s Rework and New Items

Jai’s Reputation system has been improved, making it easier to earn points and level up. Five new levels have been added, with new rewards, including favorite weapons like the Scorpio and Tribal Machete.

Co-op Improvements

You can now join co-op games from the main menu if co-op is unlocked. Rejoining lost sessions is easier, and the game has improved notifications and visuals for when players join or leave sessions.

New Level 5 Chase Music

Level 5 chases now have their own exciting music, so you know when it’s time to run for your life!

Free Content

Check out the Pilgrim Outpost for free items. The Vola-Toy charm reduces stamina use and counts Volatiles killed. The Pilgrim’s Weed Whacker is free from July 2 to July 11, then available in the Armory for Pilgrim Tokens.

Dying Light 2

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a 2022 action RPG made by Techland. It follows the original Dying Light and came out on February 4, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A Nintendo Switch cloud version is also being made. The game got good reviews, with people liking the combat, parkour system, and open world. But some critics didn't like the story. It sold 5 million copies in its first month after release.

Dying Light 2 Gameplay

Dying Light 2 is an action RPG survival horror game set in a zombie-infested open world. It takes place 22 years after the first game and stars Aiden Caldwell, voiced by Roger Craig Smith, known for his parkour skills. Players can climb, slide, leap, and wall run across the city using over 3000 parkour animations for fluid movement. Tools like a grappling hook and paraglider aid traversal, and Aiden can use zombies to cushion falls. Combat is mostly melee-based with weapons that degrade over time.

Players can also use crossbows, shotguns, and spears. Upgrading weapons with blueprints and components found by breaking down other weapons is possible. Aiden has superhuman abilities due to infection. The game features new zombie types and a day-night cycle affecting zombie behavior. Players explore the vast city of Villedor, four times larger than its predecessor, with seven regions, each offering unique landmarks and resources for crafting. Choices made an impact on factions and story outcomes, with cooperative multiplayer for up to four players.
