This might be one of the most unique ideas I've seen. Dying Light has always been a franchise that evolves it's latest game as time progresses, and with the Restored Land update, is doing it again. There's a lot to unpack in what Techland is adding, but the coolest idea is that zombies don't respawn, giving you the ability to cleanse the map as you go hunting. You're going to have to play it for yourself to get a taste, and it's a good time to do so, with a new edition of the game containing everything arriving, with past players getting it all for free. Check out the new details below, along with our 85/100 review!
Dying Light: The Beast review — Revenge is a dish best served bloody
Techland makes a beast of an effort to deliver a spectacular zombie game

Techland has announced Dying Light: The Beast Restored Land, launching on March 26 alongside a free new exciting content to the base game.
The new enhanced Dying Light: The Beast Restored Land Edition and the free major new content introduces Restored Land, a highly challenging, solo experience, that brings a new way to play Dying Light: The Beast and forces players to develop, adapt and hone their survival skills.
In Restored Land all actions have permanent consequences. Zombies killed by the player do not respawn. Looted items also no longer respawn while containers provide fewer supplies, and shops offer reduced stock at higher prices. Under these new rules, activities such as Convoys, Dark Zones and Hives need only be completed once. Survival mechanics are intensified, including the need to manage hunger and replace depleted flashlight batteries against this backdrop of finite materials.
Additionally, players can further define the rules of their survival by enabling the One Life option that gives players a single chance to complete the entire Restored Land experience. If players die, their save is wiped and they must restart from the beginning. Completing the game in the Restored Land and One Life setting unlock special rewards.
Restored Land reinforces the core philosophy - your survival, your rules - placing full responsibility for every decision, risk and resource on the player. It marks a turning point in the Dying Light story where, for the first time, hope can return as areas are fully cleared of the infected. The restored areas gradually come back to life, with survivors reappearing in the world and returning to their normal lives.
New content also brings Roadkill Rallies - vehicular competitive challenges blending zombie-slaying action with route optimization across the open world.
Players can track their performance in both Restored Land and Roadkill Rallies and compare their results with friends on Friends Leaderboards. Additionally Global Leaderboards are implemented on consoles only.
On top of that, the game receives 33 new quest encounters, new brutal finishers, 7 new achievements, 5 new hidden stashes, high-risk zombie encounters with greater rewards, improvements to special infected fights and co-op, dozens of gameplay and performance enhancements - and more!
Dying Light: The Beast Restored Land is a new enhanced version of the game that includes the base game, new major content, and all previously released updates and improvements in one package, including Legend Levels, New Game+, Ray Tracing, Nightmare Mode, dozens of new brutal finishers, hundreds of parkour and gameplay improvements, and numerous visual and audio enhancements.
Players who own Dying Light: The Beast Standard Edition will automatically receive a free upgrade to Restored Land Edition.
