2015 was a transformative year for Techland’s zombie genocide simulator Dying Light. The game has evolved, gradually, via incremental updates that have introduced new features, content and additional polish, as well as paved the way for the epic story expansion that is The Following.
On February 9, Dying Light will get a huge new map and story campaign in its most ambitious DLC to-date. The Following will effectively double the size of the original game, and while that’s certainly exciting, it’s not quite as exhilarating as outfitting a weaponized dune buggy with flamethrowers and spiky bits so you can haul ass into a sea of walking corpses to see what it’d look like if Leatherface got angry with a platter of cherry Jell-O.
If you told me you weren’t excited to do that, I wouldn’t believe you.
I might understand your not matching my level of pumped-up-edness, and that’s okay. We can fix you. All you need is for me to properly explained just how extremely awesome these zombie murder buggies are going to be. Dying Light is treating them like the weapons they very obviously are by giving us the ability to customize our dune buggy with paint jobs, bobbleheads, charms, flamethrowers, electrical cages, UV bubbles, spiked ramming bars and remote explosives.
There will be blueprints to collect, new parts to find — like better engines — and they’re even introducing a new Driver skill tree so you can maximize your road rage potential.
Dying Light: The Following releases on Feb 9 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
