Dying Light: Hellraid is inspired by Techland’s unreleased fantasy role-playing game, Hellraid, which the studio emphasizes remains on hold for now, as it continues to work on both Dying Light 2 and another new IP yet to be revealed.
Instead, this paid expansion is Techland’s way of bringing a piece of Hellraid to the Dying Light universe while fans continue to wait for the launch of Dying Light 2, which was scheduled to release this Spring, but saw an indefinite delay earlier in the year.

It’s unclear what exactly you’ll be up to in Dying Light: Hellraid, but the trailer for the game (seen above) seems to suggest it involves some sort of demonic arcade machine, which will no doubt bring new terrors to the hugely popular sandbox of Harran.
If you’re curious, find out why so many people are still playing Techland’s sleeper hit (opens in new tab), five years after it launched. You can also find the Steam page for Dying Light: Hellraid here (opens in new tab).

]]>The latest content package includes a new Story Mode difficulty to help players both new or returning breeze through the campaign ahead of the launch of Dying Light 2 (opens in new tab). We don’t have a firm release date for the highly anticipated sequel since it was pushed back last month (opens in new tab), but that means you should have plenty of time to finish the original game, especially if you use the new easiest difficulty mode. Techland says it’s designed for “everyone to be able to enjoy Dying Light to the full, regardless of their skill level and experience with action games.”
The developer also says it has a month of in-game events planned between today and March 19, which will include Dying Light’s first ever free to play weekend on Steam starting tomorrow. “Fan-favorite” events will make comebacks in addition to “a few surprises,” says Techland.
A new paid DLC pack is now available for all platforms too. The “5th Anniversary Bundle” includes two new melee weapons and a new shotgun. The pipe does +50% damage after three or more hits, while the shotty is also suped up with 50% faster reloading, as well as increased damage size and bullet speed stemming from being able to unload both barrels at once for massive effect. The DLC will cost you $2.99 on your platform of choice.
We highlighted Dying Light 2 as one of our most anticipated games of the year. Here’s why (opens in new tab).

]]>Techland has now revealed the full details for its Dying Light/Left 4 Dead 2 crossover event, which is live in its open world zombie game (for free) from yesterday until Monday, October 28. The limited time event ramps up the action with “an increased number of Virals [and] waves of attacking hordes”, but those who partake in the challenges will be rewarded with unique Gold Blueprints for crafting exclusive weapons inspired by Valve’s zombie slaying classic.
This includes the Electric Guitar, Frying Pan, and Golf Club, but don’t worry if you don’t have time to log into Dying Light this weekend; the standard, non-Gold blueprints for each weapon will be available as a drop in the baseline version of the game once this Left 4 Dead 2 event comes to its end. You can watch the full trailer for the crossover mode below.
Original story below:
Left 4 Dead 2 (opens in new tab) represents the pinnacle of local co-op shooting, a frenetic blast through hordes, in the truest sense, of zombies littered with scary-as-hell special foes like boomers and witches. Unfortunately, the series has lived up to its name, with the most recent entry being the now 10-year-old Left 4 Dead 2. Thankfully, fellow zombie shooter Dying Light (opens in new tab) seems to be resurrecting its co-op ancestor in some sort of crossover with Left 4 Dead 2, announced by Techland on Twitter.
The post on the official Dying Light Twitter account is agonizingly vague, offering virtually nothing beyond an official confirmation that Dying Light and Left 4 Dead 2 are getting a crossover in some shape or form. There’s an official poster featuring both games’ logos, but outside that small morsel of official material we’re left with nothing but guesses to go by.
Dying Light already allows players to link up online for up to four-player co-op play, so it’s unlikely we’ll see a whole new game mode, especially now almost five years after Dying Light’s release and so near the release of Dying Light 2. It’s easy to let your imagination go wild, but I soberly admit there’s almost zero chance we’ll see some reimagining of The Parish campaign or even an individual chapter from Left 4 Dead 2. More likely, we’ll get some cosmetics and if fortune’s in our favor, we’ll enter a dimly-lit building and hear the distant cry of the dreaded witch.
Whatever Dying Light has up its sleeves with regards to Left 4 Dead 2, we’ll gladly lap it up while we wait not-so-patiently for Left 4 Dead 3 (opens in new tab), which is actually going to be called Back 4 Blood (opens in new tab).
