11 Minutes of ‘Dying Light: The Following’
One of the year’s biggest hits is about to get even better. Much like the special infected that roam the apocalyptic city of Harran, Dying Light has been gradually evolving in the eleven months since its release. Techland has been laying the groundwork for a gargantuan expansion that will effectively double the size of the base game.
Dying Light: The Following arrives on February 9th for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It will bring a slew of new loot to scavenge, blueprints to try out, and even dune buggies.
If you don’t own Dying Light but are looking to remedy that in time to get The Following on Feb 9, I recommend holding off just a little bit longer so you can get the Enhanced Edition. This version has everything you need, including all of the game’s DLC as well as the various improvements that Techland is working on bringing to it in a free update next year.
Should you need some guidance before making a purchase decision, feel free to check out my review of the game, in which I mention Dead Island roughly a thousand times. The nifty graphic I have for you below may also come in handy.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
