Summer of Dying Light kicks off

Ready for Dying Light: The Beast? Techland wants you warming up, and they're bringing in new updates to do it. The Summer of Dying Light features the headliner of the Retouched update, with improvements coming to both titles in the series, but also collaborations and new content. Check out all the details below as you re-barbwire your bats.

Today, Techland also launches a Summer Update for Dying Light 2: Stay Human, continuing the ongoing support.

"We promised at least five years of support for Dying Light 2, and our fans can count on it," says Tymon Smektała, Dying Light Franchise Director. "This summer we’re going all in for our community. We’re celebrating our incredibly talented modding community with a UGC Fest and have a full house of free content in the Dying Light 2 x Balatro: Friend of Aiden crossover.”

Dying Light 2 x Balatro: Friend of Aiden Bundle

Prepare for a wild card collaboration as Dying Light 2: Stay Human is teaming up with Balatro. The Dying Light 2 x Balatro: Friend of Aiden Bundle introduces two new side quests and colorful, free items among them the everchanging Joker Charme that leans into the very essence of Balatro's game of chance and unpredictability. Every time you equip it is a test of fortune about the effect it unlocks - bringing that signature Balatro excitement to Villedor.

To begin these new quests, simply look for the mysterious posters in the Bazaar and the Fish Eye. Conquer devilish riddles that will test your knowledge of Villedor and unlock the Friend of Aiden Bundle, which includes:

-Jimbo’s Outfit: No clowning around with this outfit on, you’ve got a job to do: kill some zombies!

-Ceremonial Dagger: It’s no longer just a Joker. Grab the dagger and show ‘em you’re not bluffing! Increase your multiplier by defeating different types of enemies, performing finishers and destroying Joker Charms.

-Joker Charm: Which Joker will you get? Who knows! Create a charm, and you’ll receive a random one with a unique gameplay effect. Just like in Balatro, some will be more useful than others.

-Flying Blind Paraglider: You might miss out on a few chips, but every poker player has to have an exit plan when the odds aren’t looking good.

UGC Fest: Summer in Villedor

Starting today, the Dying Light 2: Stay Human UGC Fest is a vibrant, four-week-long celebration of the community’s creativity and dedication. Take on brand-new bounties that dive into the best of our community-made content and discover the incredible imagination and talent of our players - and take away cool rewards.

Highlights of the UGC Fest include:

-Featured Community Maps: Each week, three exceptional community-created maps will take the spotlight, inviting players to explore and experience the diverse creativity within the talented Dying Light community.

-New Visual Mods: Experiment with a wide range of new visual mods, including extraordinary weapon visual mods crafted as part of a recent mod contest, and brand new maps created specifically for this event!

Beyond new content and community celebrations, the Dying Light 2 Summer Update also introduces smaller fixes and improvements to the game, addressing issues in Co-Op, Tower Raid, overall game health, and various technical bugs. A full list of fixes can be found in the patch notes
