‘Hellraid’ DLC For ‘Dying Light’ Launches July 23
Two months ago, Techland announced that their then-cancelled Hellraid game would be incorporated into Dying Light as part of a new DLC. Well, Techland has made your summer a little more interesting now, as the Hellraid DLC will hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam on July 23.
The new DLC sees the player leaving the streets of Harran and entering into an otherworldly stronghold overrun by servants of Hell. You and up to four people will be slaying brand-new demonic enemies with medieval swords, axes, and hammers as you venture through dimly-lit stone corridors. Hellraid also has a new game mode, where multiple runs through the fortress for bounties results in additional prizes. Improve your Hellraid rank to access new weapons you can also wield outside of the infernal realm.
Dying Light is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The sequel, Dying Light 2, is currently in production.
GSC Game World will be bringing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl fans the first expansion next month when “Cost of Hope” launches on August 20. The release will coincide with a new 2.0 update for the game. The devs will release more info on the expansion and the update in the coming weeks.
In Cost of Hope, players once again step into the role of Skif — the protagonist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — as a mysterious PDA signal draws him into events unfolding alongside the main game’s story. Players will explore uncharted locations, encounter unexpected allies and enemies, discover powerful weapons, and experience a new story. With dozens of hours of content, your choices will shape the future of the Zone in this major new chapter of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga.
Launching in line with Cost of Hope will be a “massive” Update 2.0 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Available as a free update to all owners of the game, the update will upgrade the game to a new version of Unreal Engine 5, as well as bring a variety of new content and improvements.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will launch for PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com, the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
