One Hit Pixel: "Hands-on with Techland’s latest zombie game and chat to game producer Tymon Smektala about many aspects of their first next-gen outing."
The Retouched update for Dying Light that improves graphical features has been released; here's how it compares with the Enhanced Edition.
I remember playing this for the first time on the PS4 and it knocking me sick and hurting my eyes due to the horrible motion blur and FPS.
Played it a lot on pc a year later. Then again on ps5 once they dropped the 60fps update. I'll be giving it another go. Mad how they have kept updating this game for 10 years.
Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.
It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!
But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.
It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?
Wtf did this edition come with ? A real helicopter and a real zombie virus ?
For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.
LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’
You know what, I like this title, I feel like they have done a good job at making a next-gen version...
This game seems to have enough new ideas to really make it a good game... Dead Island had some things it did really well.. Like I loved shooting in that game, but there was never enough ammo..
-and with them coming to next-gen it looks like they didn't just bring the same game...
They seem to have improved on everything, Graphics look amazing, the free roam looks really improved - the amount of zombies, the way you can get to things -- all done really well, improved combat and a really nice day and night cycle, but then adding to the night feel with a real chaos feeling happening whenever the sun goes down..
I'm really looking forward to this game on PS4, can't wait.. it looks to be one of those titles that people may not think it will be that good but I think this one will surprise you..
Looks really well polished for their second attempt at the whole Zombie Apocalypse category..
This one is indeed a -Day 1 Digital Download- for me...

I will thoroughly enjoy this on my Xbox One as well. Looks like a blast!
The article does nothing to demonstrate how it isn't another zombie game.
