Use Van Crane's deadly weapons to cleanse Harran with this new bundle!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Though most seek shelter as the All-Hallows Eve arrives, you fear no monster, no creature of the night. For you are Van Crane, the slayer of horrors, and Halloween is but a feast to you. Your outfit, enchanted with blood, allows you to call any thrown weapon back to you. So take zombies by surprise, and cut off their heads when they least expect it. That’s what you’re known for anyway.

With a set of these day and night weapons, you’ll be the end of the undead. As soon as you reach for the Dawnlight, your deadly pistol, they’ll know the hunt has begun. Find a good spot to make sure you have time to load it with your silver bullet, and obliterate even the strongest monster with a single shot. Then, roll from behind the corner, and vanquish what’s left with your crossbow, the Heart Piercer—showing its true potential just when the sun sets. And if you some ungodly creatures are still trying to escape their fate, purge them with your Sword of Night, which draws its power directly from the Moon. The streets of Harran must be cleansed, and you, Van Crane, have sworn to never rest until it’s done.


  • Van Crane—a new costume with a special “boomerang” skill
  • Dawnlight—a pistol that can be loaded with silver bullets
  • Heart Piercer—a crossbow that becomes more powerful and changes appearance at night
  • Sword of Night—a sword that becomes more powerful and changes appearance at night

Ready for a haunted hunt? Halloween is back in Dying Light!



When the spookiest night of the year comes, the deadliest horrors dress up and flood the city’s streets, looking for candy blood. For this trick-or-treating, you’ll need a really large candy bag. And maybe some reliable weapons too. Volatile (sugar) rush has made them much more sensitive to sounds during Halloween, so any noise you make will alarm and lure them to you. Use your Super Crane’s powers to wipe those carved smiles off their pumpkin faces, and don’t forget to collect their trick-or-treat potions. Warning: Use with caution! Their effects can be… surprising.

The community will want to collect as many of these as possible, so help them, and you’ll definitely be rewarded. And don’t forget to get rid of the Goons, Virals, and Volatiles! They disguised themselves, but don’t be fooled. They’re no trick-or-treaters. Finish the bounties, though, and you’ll see there’s something nice waiting for you in return.

Goals:

Local goals:
  • Klll 10 Goons
  • Reward—Reward: Random Golden Weapon
  • Kill 15 Volatiles
  • Reward—Van Crane Sword (Item)
  • Kill 30 Virals
  • Reward—Random Golden Weapon

  • Global goal—Collect 1 million treat-or-treat potions
  • Reward—3 King Mods


The Halloween event will launch on PC and consoles on October 28th (19:00 CEST) and will last until November 8th (19:00 CEST).

You can't get Dying Light on Switch via EU eShop because the game is banned in Germany

Dying Light may have launched on the Nintendo Switch, but if you're eager to download and play the game in Europe, you're out of luck: the game is not available on the eShop because it's banned in Germany, it turns out.

Dying Light's recently-announced Switch port was supposed to go live yesterday, October 19, but frustrated players in EU regions noticed it never got listed on the Switch's digital storefront. In a post over on Reddit, a member of the dvelopment team at Techland explained why the game is only available physically in some EU regions.

"If you’re talking about the digital version, then due to nature of content the digital version of the game is currently banned in Germany where European e-Shop is officially registered," they explained.
