Dying Light 2 dev is "seriously thinking about" New Game Plus

When Dying Light 2 released last month, there was a lot going for the open-world game but it was still missing some major features - including and especially a New Game Plus mode. Now developer Techland has responded to a request for a Dying Light 2 NG+ mode to confirm that the team is "seriously thinking about" it.

After years in development, Dying Light 2 finally arrived in February and proved itself an entertaining zombie game with a lot to do in its world. However, once the credits roll there is no specific reason to do it all again, as the only option is to play the campaign completely fresh with nothing different.

Techland has promised "at least five years" of post-launch support for Dying Light 2, with major new content being added - including multiple paid story expansion packs akin to the first Dying Light game's The Following. The developer has already added some free DLC and updated the game with some major patches, and there's a lot more to come.

Dying Light 2 should get a "big patch" next week

A significant update is in the works for high-flying zombie game Dying Light 2, which has struggled with a pesky 'death loop' patch since launch. Developer Techland says the update will address this problem and more, including weird ragdoll animations and some user interface issues.

If you're just tuning in, the 'death loop' bug pops up when you die during a mission that requires you to stay in a specific area or quickly die. If Aiden is downed, he'll respawn at a nearby safehouse, but in some cases that's far from the critical mission area. He'll die again, respawn, and be locked into a constantly-repeating cycle, making it impossible to start the mission over or progress the game.

Techland has attempted to fix this issue in past patches for Dying Light 2, but it's proven a tough nut to crack, it seems. Nonetheless, a fix should be coming out sometime "next week," according to a tweet from the developers. The patch will also address ragdoll animations and make changes to the UI, although the developer doesn't get into specifics on either count.

Dying Light 2's free 'Ronin' DLC pack is fully out now

Another round of free DLC is available now for the freshly launched zombie game Dying Light 2, adding a new themed gear set to Aiden Caldwell's bulging duffle bag. This new set is the Ronin Pack, and like the first free DLC, it's confusingly split into three separate Steam entries you'll have to add to your account individually.

Part one of the Ronin pack launched February 21 and includes a Survivor's Handcrafted Jacket, Handcrafted Breeches, and Headcrafted Trainers. The outfit is based on a grey, white, and red theme that's accented in gold, a colour scheme that's carried over into part two of the pack, which includes handcrafted guards, mask, and mitts. That piece launched February 23.

The third chunk of the Ronin DLC pack, available now, is the Wise Katana unique sword. As you might imagine, this is a handy tool to have on hand in the streets of Villedor, which are crawling with undead monsters eager to yank off your limbs. The Wise Katana features a red-wrapped handle and a weighty looking blade, which should help keep virals at bay.
