Following the release of the latest content update for Dying Light 2: Stay Human, the game’s lead designer Tymon Smektała had a chat with WCCFTech that primarily revolved around Techland’s DLC plans for their zombie survival RPG that involve over 5 years of support.

Here’s an excerpt:

Looking ahead, you’ve promised two story expansions, the first of which arrives in the coming months. Can you share any details on what to expect from that?

What I can say right now is that the first one runs parallel to the main story, so it can be started right after Aiden arrives in The City. Since it’s the first one out the gate, we didn’t want to force players to finish the game before they’d be able to have fun with it. I went through some of the speculations our community has expressed online, but I haven’t seen any of those theories get it right. So I hope that we’ll positively surprise people with this DLC.

Will the story DLC tie into the overall branching narrative? Will you be able to make choices that affect events outside of the DLC’s story?

Its story is centered around a specific place outside of the Villedor city limits. But of course, there will be some choices to make!

And in the short term, we have a press release announcing a number of weekly in-game events. Check it out:

Wrocław, Poland — April 28, 2022 — Since yesterday, a New Game + with update 1.3.0 is available in the Dying Light 2 Stay Human, but it’s not the end of new things coming to the game this week.
