'Dying Light' Celebrates The Holidays With Winter Events, Free Hellraid DLC Update

by Rainier on Dec. 13, 2021 @ 10:24 a.m. PST

Dying Light is a first-person, action survival horror video game with a portentous day-night cycle set in a vast open world.

During the day, players will traverse an expansive urban environment overrun by a vicious outbreak, scavenging the world for supplies and crafting weapons to defend against the growing infected population. At night, the hunter becomes the hunted, as the infected become aggressive and more dangerous. Most frightening are the predators which only appear after sundown. Players must use everything in their power to survive until the morning's first light.

Survive in a city beset by a zombie virus! Discover the hard choice you will have to make on your secret mission. Will loyalty to your superiors prove stronger than the will to save the survivors? The choice is yours…

This winter brings nine new events to Dying Light’s city of Harran, coming all throughout an entire month. These winter festivities boast new enemies and rewards. Help survivors get ready for the holidays and seize the chance to win items from paid bundles. 

Harran’s winter celebrations are divided into two phases, and will start with two events:

The HyperMode with a reduction in fall damage, from December 9 (7:00 PM CET)

  • Local goal: To kill enemies with your bare fists.
  • Reward: The HyperArgument item from the Harran Tactical Unit bundle.

The Super Crane event, from December 16 (7:00 PM CET)

  • Local goal: To kill zombies by throwing them off the roofs.
  • Reward: The Volkatronix from the Retrowave bundle.

Phase 1 of the winter celebration ends on December 23 (7:00 PM CET). Right after, Phase 2 brings plentiful surprises, a bunch of new events, and one icy cold enemy. Techland will soon unwrap more of these gifts.

A Free New Update for Hellraid is Now Available with New Quests and Locations

Evil forces never rest. This time, brave heroes will have to face a new and powerful enemy: Lord Asmorod and his army of skeleton-type minions. Defeat him to earn the Dark Wand, take control of freezing magic, and put an end to Anat’s intrigue!

The Hellraid DLC update also brings new map areas and two new quests full of skeletons. Fight through these new locations of the scriptorium to disrupt the dark ritual!

The new Hellraid update is already available for free, for those who have already purchased the Hellraid DLC.

Key Features:

  • VAST OPEN WORLD: Roam the city with unprecedented freedom and bask in its unique atmosphere. Use parkour to scale every building and reach remote areas.
  • CREATIVE COMBAT: Engage in gory combat and discover limitless options to confront your enemies. Use the environment paired with various weapon types and abilities to gain an advantage.
  • DAY AND NIGHT CYCLE: Experience the dramatic shift in the world, as you change from a hunter to hunted at sundown. Face the coming threat or run away without wasting your time to look behind.
  • 4-PLAYER CO-OP: Join forces with other players and raise your chances of survival in an exciting co-op mode. Tackle the story campaign together and take part in regularly scheduled community challenges.

Dying Light is available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam)
