Dying Light 2: Stay Human – 1st Anniversary Celebrations

Techland’s zombie-survival RPG Dying Light 2: Stay Human was released on February 4, 2022. And with the first anniversary of that release upon us, the game’s developers bring us this chunky content update featuring the Dynamic Competitions feature that was a staple of the first Dying Light game, and also numerous gameplay, co-op, AI, and UI improvements.

Then, there’s the Bloody Anniversary event that invites us to dismember our enemies with glee in order to get our, hopefully still attached, hands on some in-game rewards. And beyond that, we have this Steam announcement that brings our attention to a 50% off sale, DLC giveaways, and other promotional events.
