The first Dying Light 2 DLC, Bloody Ties, launched in October 2022. Originally, Techland had promised two story DLCs included with the Ultimate Edition, and the second DLC was supposed to be far larger than Bloody Ties.
It turns out it became so large that it’s now its own standalone game called The Beast. The upside is that the aforementioned owners of Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition will get it for free once it is released. What about the future of Dying Light 2, though? Here’s what Franchise Director Tymon Smektala told me at Gamescom 2024.
We have promised five years of support for the game. There will be more updates coming to Dying Light 2 this year and in the next years. That’s all I can say; we don’t want to reveal too much right now because the message that we have right now is that Dying Light: The Beast is a new zombie adventure set in the world of Dying Light. Kyle Crane is back and we have a great game on our hands. We’ll focus on this for a moment, and then we’ll get back to Dying Light 2 quite soon.
Right now, we are not planning a narrative DLC for Dying Light 2, but the game will be supported and you can expect more content coming to it over the next years.
The last major content update for the game was the Tower Raid Open Beta. If Techland doesn’t produce any more major story DLCs, the Polish studio may focus more on cooperative multiplayer content in the game’s future.
As a reminder, the studio is also working on an open world fantasy RPG based on a brand new IP. However, we haven’t really heard any updates on this project in a year and a half.
