Dying Light on Xbox One and PS4 reveals domesticated zombies in The Following

Dying Light: The Following is promising some frightening new challenges

 

DYING LIGHT will see the release of its first expansion, The Following, on February 9 and promises to bring new story details and features to the game a year since its release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

 

Having revealed that the original scope of The Following's ambitions had grown since its first announcement, developers Techland revealed more on some of the new features coming to the game in 2016.

The new storyline takes place after the events of the original game "as protagonist Kyle Crane and his group of survivors face both a new threat and new hope for salvation".

"Hard-pressed by the circumstances, Crane leaves the city walls and travels to a remote region taken over by a mysterious group whose intentions are not readily clear. The rumor of a way out turned out true, but does a potential cure really exist out here or is it all smoke and mirrors?"

Having found a new escape route from the city of Harran, Crane prepares to venture into new territory controlled by a dangerous group who appear to have learned more about the plague that has taken over the region.

A new teaser trailer released today reveals that players could face new domesticated zombies, posing a whole new level of risks to those venturing out after dark.

Dying Light: The Following will be released for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and will be available as downloadable content, as part of the Season Pass, and as part of Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition.

The Enhanced Edition comes with improved enemy AI and graphics and will be provided to those who already own the game free of charge.

 

Dying Light's first expansion arrives on February 9, 2016

It will also include the expansion pack Dying Light: The Following, The Bozak Horde mode, the Be the Zombie mode, the Cuisine & Cargo challenge missions, the Ultimate Survivor Bundle, and all the content updates released to date.

 “We didn’t want to follow a beaten track and just re-release our game in a new wrapping with the current DLC added on," explained Maciej Binkowski, lead game designer.

“That’s why for the last half year we’ve been working on a ton of enhancements that we’re now going to make available to everyone.

"We’re adding bonus post-game content, a Nightmare difficulty level, nearly 100 new animations, new NPC models, advanced AI behaviors, and more. One year after the original release, Dying Light will be even bigger.”
