Dying Light is getting a much-requested Hard Mode, developer Techland announced today.
We don't know when exactly, but it will be the first of several free content updates released in the coming months "to ensure that all Dying Light players can find new experiences to enjoy." Some of the features of the new mode include:
- Ramped up nighttime difficulty
- Deadlier and more vicious foes
- Increased need for stealth and silence
- Scarce resources and supplies
- "… and plenty of other additions"
The first content update, coming "in the near future," will also bring gameplay improvements and a number of new character outfits.
”A few gamers have already finished Dying Light and are asking for more. So we’re going to give our community a new challenge that will put everything they learnt in the game to the test. Hard Mode is exactly that. We’re aiming to have it out around the start of March, if not sooner. Depends on how brutal we wanna make this on people," said producer Tymon Smektala.
Today's announcement comes just a day after Techland detailed its Season Pass for paid-DLC for Dying Light, and just a few days after the developer announced plans to support modding tools.
