‘Dying Light’ DLC ‘Hellraid’ Delayed, Will Launch Next Month
Those looking forward to finally getting their hands on the upcoming Hellraid DLC for Dying Light will unfortunately have to wait, as Techland have delayed the release from July 23. After a recent beta test, Techland has taken to Twitter to announce that the DLC will now launch on August 13 for PC, and August 14 for consoles.
The reasoning behind the delay is in part due to suggestions made by the community after a recent beta test. Players had voiced concern over the technical issues on the game’s Reddit page, while others had stated that the DLC felt more like a reskin with little in the way of new content.
While a few weeks won’t be enough to cram more content into the game, kudos to Techland for listening and actually working to try and iron out the bugs for the DLC. Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for Dying Light 2, which was supposed to launch earlier this year, but has also been delayed. Reports of the game’s development nearing its completion have fueled rumours of a release, but nothing official has come from Techland.

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
