Dying Light gets new DLC and Hard Mode next week

Polish developer Techland announced today that the second content drop of Dying Light's Season Pass will launch on March 10th.

Detailed last month, the Ultimate Survivor Bundle brings a collection of unique items to the quarantine zone, including blueprints for four "one-of-a-kind" weapons: The Constable, the Night Club, Lacerator, and Buzz Kill. The DLC also comes with three "distinctive" character outfits: the Ninja, Urban Explorer, and Special Agent. Although the Ultimate Survivor Bundle is part of the Season Pass, fans can opt to purchase it as standalone DLC for $4.99.

The third and final DLC included with Dying Light's Season Pass — The Bozak Horde — will drop in May and deliver a new map and wave-based gameplay mode, playable in single-player and co-op.

Next week will also see the arrival of the eagerly awaited Hard Mode as part of a free update that will also add an additional tier to weapon rarity level, extra rewards for completing the game, more character outfits, and dozens of new weapons. Patch 1.4 will also offer various improvements to the game's performance, gameplay balance, online functions, and visual fidelity. Hard Mode will add an extra layer of challenge to the game by ramping up nighttime difficulty, adding "deadlier and more vicious" foes, and limiting the supplies and resources available.

So to recap: next week we're getting the Ultimate Survivor Bundle as paid-for DLC and what sounds like a massive update in patch 1.4 that adds a whole bunch of new content, most notably Hard Mode.
