Dying Light News

We hope decimating zombies with your buggy weapons on Week #2 only whetted your appetite for mayhem, Survivors.

Halfway through Dying Light’s 5th Anniversary Month we’re doing what many of you have been asking for – we’re bringing back the Left 4 Dead 2 crossover event! It returns under a new permanent name, Viral Rush, and you’ll be seeing more of it in the future. In case you missed our homage to Valve’s zombie shooter back in October: prepare for an all-out fight against a horde of relentless, extremely aggressive undead. Even with quartermasters giving out free firearms, and your ammo being restocked in Safe Zones, you’ll need to bring your A game to survive this onslaught. Your task is to kill Virals, and when the community reaches the global goal you will be rewarded with a blueprint of Last Hope, the signature makeshift cleaver of Aiden Caldwell, the protagonist of Dying Light 2.

Amidst all that chaos you’ll surely find a moment to help your old pal Gazi get halva for the World’s Best Mom. Fortunately, halva was a very popular treat in Harran, so many zombies still have some in their pockets. Make Gazi’s Mama happy, and he’ll reward your for completing this personal bounty with an exclusive blueprint.

Week #2 of Dying Light’s 5th Anniversary Month is here and with it another one of your favorite past events – CARnage! Jump behind the wheel of your buggy and show those zombies what happens when you don’t look both ways before crossing a street in Harran. Burn the undead to a crisp with the flamethrower, zap them with the electric cage, blow them up with mines – whatever suits you, as long as you use your vehicle’s weapons. Help the community reach the global goal and earn a random gold weapon as a reward.

Speaking of rewards, you can still grab that C4 Explosive blueprint we introduced in Week #1. We want as many Survivors as possible to enjoy this fun new weapon, so we extended the Fort Jefferson Armory bounty till the end of Week #2 for those who haven’t completed it. Have a blast!

Keeping Dying Light alive and thriving for half a decade would be impossible without the undying support of our amazing community. Having that and the significance of the occasion in mind, we decided that the 5th anniversary celebration needs to be a large-scale experience that offers something for every Survivor. Instead of launching a single event we prepared a whole range of varied activities that will keep the fun going throughout a whole month (until March 19).

Each week of this Dying Light insanity will bring back a popular global event from the game’s rich past, accompanied by a personal bounty related to one of fan favorite characters.

We’re kicking things off with Jeff and Super-Crane. During the first week of the 5th Anniversary Month you’ll be hunting Volatiles to earn a brand new C4 Explosive blueprint drawn by Fort Jefferson’s fearless commander, and throwing zombies off roofs as Harran’s superhero equipped with an enhanced grappling hook. We won’t tell you just yet what comes next, but rest assured tons of fun are coming your way, and some cool rewards too, including a crazy outfit that we can’t wait for you to see. Keep your eyes peeled for info on 5th Anniversary Month's upcoming events.

There’s one more thing we want to share with you. The latest Dying Light update introduces a new difficulty level intended for those who’d like to focus on the story and exploration without worrying too much about survival. Story Mode features a number of tweaks which make the game significantly easier: you're stronger and tougher, the Infected are less dangerous, nights are shorter, etc. Now everyone can enjoy their stay in Harran regardless of their skill level and experience with action games.
