‘Dying Light 2’ Celebrates 20 Years of ‘The Walking Dead’ Comics With New Event [Trailer]

Published

You knew it was going to happen eventually. Techland has teamed up with Skybound Entertainment to celebrate 20 years of The Walking Dead comics by announcing a crossover event with Dying Light 2. Kicking off today and lasting until Wednesday, August 2 is The Walking Dead Event, a week-long series made up of a variety of challenges, yielding different rewards in Dying Light 2.

Each day will present a new Personal Goal, such as killing enemies using ranged weapons or dismembering the infected with the player being rewarded with a unique Comic Cover – mashing up the aesthetic of Dying Light 2 with The Walking Dead – that can be gathered by players in-game. Each collectible, featuring stylized art from famed Polish artists Marek Oleksicki and Łukasz Owdziej, is made available only on a specific day, as it is assigned to a corresponding Personal Goal. Players who manage to get all 7 Comic Covers can try to reach the Collection Goal. Those who complete it will claim The Walking Dead memento weapon charm as a prize.

That’s not all. You’ll be able to snag Negan’s infamous barbed wire bat Lucille. This weapon can only be won by the most ruthless players. To get the item with a blueprint, you need to complete the Weekly Goal by killing 850 enemies in total throughout the event. And, for those diehards, if you prove themselves to be truly ferocious and slay 160 million enemies together, the Global Goal will be fulfilled and everyone will get Rick’s Hat as a reward.

For those seeking to complete the look, The Walking Dead Bundle is available for purchase for $7.99USD,  offering Rick Grimes’ Outfit as well as The Walking Dead Paraglider for added flavor. But if iconic weapons are what you’re after, this bundle will also meet your needs, and then some. Not only will you get Lucille, but Michonne’s Katana, and Negan’s Knife. All three weapons are available with their blueprints.

Dying Light 2 is available now for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Survios Announces VR Title ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’, Coming This Year [Trailer]

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
