I greatly enjoyed the time I spent running, hacking and leaping through the zombie-infested streets of Dying Light, enough to max out my character’s three skill trees some time ago. The final perks were worth the effort, but in the relatively short amount of time I’ve spent with the game since reaching the cap, running and grappling infinitely just isn’t reason enough to keep me going. I need that carrot on a stick to motivate me to keep going.
I’m not the only player who’s hit the brick wall of no return on my investment, and Techland is looking to change this with the content update that’s coming in February with the Enhanced Edition and as a free, standalone update for current owners of the game.
The update will introduce Legendary Levels — a concept that completely changed Diablo III when Blizzard called them Paragon levels — which give maxed-out players such as myself a reason to get back to work when The Following releases on Feb 9 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
It’ll do this by effectively raising the level cap by an additional 250. Each new level earned improves core stats like health and damage, and accruing 25 of them will get you a new emblem or outfit.
