Following through on their promise to keep content flowing for the Dying Light community in the latest sequel title Dying Light 2 Stay Human, developer and publisher Techland has launched their latest update! Simply entitling the update as Good Night Good Luck, it heralds the beginning of the Summer of Horrors, a series of events, crossovers, and updates spanning the entire season starting today with the spooktacular Bloody Nights event with in-game awards through Thursday, July 13th.
Some of the aspects of this update that players can look forward to include:
In The Dead Of Night - Emphasize the differences in gameplay by ensuring the night has a heavier, almost horror-like feel. To accomplish that, the visibility is significantly reduced, making the player more reliant on the upgraded flashlight that casts dynamic shadows. The infected now show up in more locations, like Volatiles roaming the rooftops, making no place truly safe after sundown.
Give It A Good Run - Not only the chase sequences are now more immersive, but there are also further improvements to the parkour system. Other additions include animations, increased control in the air, and maintaining momentum. Based on player feedback, they are introducing a new parkour style, which can be selected in the Settings menu whether players like to exercise more control over their movement, for a grounded and intense journey, or go with the assisted gameplay.
Adventures Across The Map - The third pillar of the update is the Community Maps. Techland is cooperating with mod.io and giving the players a rare opportunity to access maps created by modders right from the game – without the need of downloading any additional applications or editors. This means a lot of new levels and content to play, demonstrating the unbridled creativity of Dying Light fans. Currently, this feature is supported on PC only, however, it will be coming to consoles and Steam Deck later this year.
Ride Off Into The (Harran) Sunset - The other noteworthy additions include boosted graphics on ultra mode for PC, and a new color grading option called “Harran Sunset”. Additionally, players will now be able to throw weapons and retrieve them later. The developer also included some modifications to the user interface and added more transmog options.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human and the Good Night Good Luck update is available now on PC via Steam and Epic Games, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. You can check out the updates trailer here and learn more about the Summer of Horror events on their official website.
