Techland has just dropped some major news for the Dying Light fandom, and honestly? It is kinda hype. If you are about to play Dying Light just before the new DLC launch ‘The Beast,’ chances are you will get loads of treats. There will be exclusive gifts, and we are talking more than just the usual cosmetic stuff: Hero of Harran Bundle, APEX Car Skin, and now…Legacy Outfit with the sleek style of Kyle Crane from the very first game. Think dirty and raw survivor style that we so much loved.
And that’s just the beginning. Questions and excitement are on the rise while the comments to Techland’s tweet give the whole vibe: “When are the reviews dropping? says OmegaStriver,” well, honestly, we all want to know. What about the preload drama? Viz-Jay|#SoaRViz? on Xbox is asking about pre-install issues, and it looks like a lot of people are running into some roadblocks. Then there’s thatkanadian on PlayStation talking about errors trying to pre-notify the “Hero of Harran Bundle.” Techland, chummingtime! Give us clarity!
Let’s talk about the outfit for just a moment, shall we? Blitzattack1 is feeling those old dirty clothes vibes better than the new, and honestly? Mood. Fits better with the apocalyptic backdrop, no? Time for some real talk from Bishop: “How about we don’t lock these behind pre orders?” which I agree 100 percent. Pre-order stuff tends to feel a bit…forced. Dragons__Red countered, “They are incentives. They want something, they give you something in return.” So it’s a business decision, but still, players want accessibility.
That said, R41N05 wants to know if Ultimate Edition owners get all this stuff too, and Dragons__Red says yes, if you bought the digital edition, you’re covered when The Beast drops. But then Xbox peeps, including Mr BLDHound, are talking about the DLC disappearing from the Library. Frustrating is an understatement- one day you see it, the next, just poof! They’ve likely got their best telling the team right now, but wouldn’t it be worth it to request smooth launches too?
As for the hype, Newt wishes that they could have it now but will get it as soon as possible, Kyiroh is spreading the love with, “You guys are awesome ❤️.” Despite the technical hiccups, that’s a strong uprising from the community. Then there’s a bonus hatchet for anyone who plays for four hours this weekend, courtesy of Dragons__Red. So keep that in mind during grinding.
Overall, Techland is giving the player base whack with bonuses and the Legacy Outfit is a really nice homage to the OG game. However, with preload issues and edition confusion, communication can perhaps be made better. With the imminent launch of The Beast, mayhem should be sorted out. For now, if you’re sitting on the fence about starting, these giveaways should push you over. If you are in now, get ready to kick it in that Crane outfit as a legend of Harran.
With the perks that are good for the community, one would argue The Beast is set to be a really good expansion. Just look at your platform pre-load situation two times before launch day. Happy gaming, everyone!
