Dying Light series ships 30 million on first anniversary, details of Dying Light 2 support

Techland has announced that the Dying Light franchise has moved an impressive 30 million units franchise-wide. The news comes on the first anniversary of the studio’s most recent title, post-apocalyptic survival game Dying Light 2, and details of the content coming in Year 2 have been revealed.

In the short term, changes to the game’s ragdoll and body physics are coming in response to player feedback, which should hopefully make combat feel a bit more weighted. Moreover, the night will become darker and full of more terror; Details on that last part are scarce, but we’d imagine that means the instabilities are getting a bit of a buff as well.

Later in the year, players can expect improvements to Dying Light 2’s vaunted parkour system and core combat mechanics to keep things fresh. Finally, Techland teased the next part of the story DLC, hinting that the venture might introduce us to some familiar faces from the first game, which is always fun.

Dying Light 2 will be supported for the next four years, which seemed like an ambitious plan when it was announced. But with sales figures like those, this level of support should exceed Techland’s time.
