Here’s the Free ‘Dying Light’ Content We’re Getting for Practicing Proper Hydration
Earlier this year, Techland kicked off a #DrinkForDLC campaign to get their fans to share photos of themselves drinking water in exchange for new Dying Light content. It also poked fun at Activision, which had just announced a partnership with Red Bull to promote Bungie’s Destiny.
I like free DLC as much as the next guy, but having some fun at the expense of the people who continue to come up with these dumb marketing campaigns is the real reward here. And you don’t even need to own a copy of Destiny or Dying Light to enjoy it.
After receiving more than 15,000 photos and videos with the #DrinkForDLC hashtag, Techland has rewarded our ability to take selfies whilst hydrating ourselves with our very first look at the new content that’s comprised of a new ‘Water 2.0 weapon blueprint, a ‘Fountain of Youth’ quest, and two water-themed parkour challenges.
This isn’t the only upcoming content that Dying Light fans have to look forward to in the coming months. A massive story expansion, called The Following, arrives on February 9th, along with a new Enhanced Edition of the game that you can read up on over here.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
