Despite Dying Light The Beast, Techland promises it won't abandon Dying Light 2

Dying Light 2 Stay Human launched more than three years ago, but its creator, Techland, has continued to support the game since then through major updates and events. Some audiences might have been concerned that the studio's next game, the upcoming Dying Light: The Beast, would shift attention away from the team's prior work, but, fortunately, as we've just learned through an interview with the series' franchise director, this doesn't seem to be the case.

Update 1.22 — Spring Update


Spring has arrived in Villedor, and it’s accompanied by Update 1.22. This patch introduces updated rewards in Tower Raid that will enrich your main character’s arsenal, continues to improve co-op and gives you creative control over how Villedor looks and feels. Starting next week, you’ll also be able to step into the shoes of real heroes with the new Fire Brigade Bundle. 

Tower Raid — new weapons and rewards
The latest patch introduces an expanded arsenal with the addition of 27 new weapons (including 24 Elemental Weapons and 3 Elemental Pistols you asked for as well), each offering unique capabilities and strategic advantages, encouraging players to explore and adapt their gameplay styles. In tandem with this, the rewards have been updated, offering an array of enticing exclusive skins and other items. Among these rewards, you can find a highly anticipated Breach outfit that allows you to roam the city with the first of the original Tower Raid skins. 

Additionally, we've implemented several UX improvements to ensure a seamless reward experience. Players can now claim rewards at their convenience, eliminating the risk of missing out on unlocked items. Furthermore, we've enhanced communication on the HUD to clearly indicate when rewards are earned, ensuring that players are always informed about their progress and achievements.

Co-op improvements
In the Spring Update, you’ll experience a slew of enhancements designed to elevate your co-op experience. We have addressed and resolved various enemy behavior issues affected by synchronization between players. This intends to ensure smoother gameplay and reduced discrepancies, including the amount of enemies teleporting and lagging.

The HUD has also received substantial improvements, providing clearer visual cues and streamlined access to vital information, ultimately enhancing situational awareness with multiple players on screen.

We're not stopping here, though! The co-op feature remains a key focus, and we've been making steady progress on it over the past few months. Our commitment to enhancing it will continue into the future.

Visual Mods tool
Ever wished you could change a specific detail in Villedor? Add a splash of color here, or add a darker, moodier atmosphere there? Look no further as we’re thrilled to introduce a new visual mods tool to Dying Light 2 Developer Tools. Currently available for PC, it offers a wide range of customization options, allowing players to modify textures in the environment, on weapons and even clothing. While visual mods are only available on PC for now, we’re hard at work making them available on consoles soon to encourage the entire community to get even more creative!

Game Updates
Aside from all the big news from Update 1.22 above, we’ve also introduced the following fixes and improvements to the game:

  • Fixed the issue with GRE Aberration teleporting in co-op during its mission
  • Fixed the issue with Volatiles occasionally teleporting between ground and higher surfaces
