| Dying Light’s Fifth Birthday Celebrations Include A Month Full Of Events, A New DLC, And A First Ever Free Weekend |
| Dying Light, Techland’s action survival game set in a post-apocalyptic open world overrun by zombies, has turned five on January 27, but the proper anniversary celebrations start today. |
The celebratory activities will involve:
FIRST EVER FREE WEEKEND
For the very first time, Dying Light will be available to play for free on Steam, starting February 20 (10am PT / 7pm CET / 6pm GMT) ending on Sunday, February 23 (10am PT / 7pm CET / 6pm GMT). Those who play the game during the weekend, will be able to grab it up to 67% off.
A MONTH FULL OF EVENTS
A month full of both global and local community events starts today, and will last until March 19. Expect fan favorites to make a comeback, and a few surprises!
The community rewards will include a brand new new weapon blueprint, C4—a throwable explosive that sticks to surface—and a surprise outfit.
ANNIVERSARY BUNDLE FULL OF UPGRADED WEAPONS
Available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the 5th Anniversary Bundle for Dying Light offers gear worthy of a Harran Veteran. Along with an outfit you’ll receive a new buggy paint job (Veteran’s Ride) and blueprints for three new weapons:
- a brand new pipe – consecutive hits boost damage +50% after 3 or more hits;
- a new sledgehammer;
- a brand new double-barreled shotgun – with 50% faster reload speed, increased damage size and bullet speed: can shoot both shells at once to produce a “malfunctioning effect”, packs a heavy punch;
The DLC is available on PC, and consoles for $2.99.
