Dying Light: Bad Blood has just launched as a brand new battle royale game based in the Dying Light universe.
Bad Blood actually uses the same world and game elements from the first Dying Light game, so it’s more like a standalone expansion than a full new experience.
Right now, it’s available to purchase under early access, but soon it should be available for everybody to play for free.
You’re probably sick and tired of seeing new battle royale games, but you might want to give Bad Blood a try because it’s a vastly different experience.
In Bad Blood, there are only twelve players per map. Players must focus on collecting blood samples as they fight zombies and collect better loot.
As you collect blood samples, you’ll inevitably come across other players and may need to fight them to the death. Not long after the game starts, a helicopter will land down and all remaining players will need to rush to the helicopter to be picked up.
Only the player

It may come as a surprise to some, but the single player and co-op zombie survival game Dying Light is still getting close to 500,000 active players each week.
This huge player base has helped developer Techland to pour as much love into Dying Light as possible. In the past 12 months, Techland has released a number of new free content updates, and now they're planning to release even more content over the next 12 months.
The new content will also be free and it'll be spread out across 2018 and 2017. The new content will start with what Techland are calling "DLC No. 0."
This new DLC will bring new enemies to Dying Light. The release date for DLC No. 0 has not yet been set, but it's expected to come soon. The new enemies are humans with ranged weaponry. It looks like they'll be hit men or bandits set out to capture the price set on Crane's (the protagonist) head.
We're not sure what future content will be, but it's likely that they'll be similar in size to DLC

We've mentioned in previous articles that Dying Light was set to receive a free DLC expansion and we finally have more details about the exact release date of the upcoming content. For those unaware, Dying Light will be getting a special edition release in February and it will include the base game and all released DLC since the launch of Dying Light. The special edition release will also include the upcoming DLC expansion for free, however all existing owners of the original Dying Light will also be given the DLC expansion for free.
So when will the new Dying Light DLC be launched? Techland has revealed that the new content will be available in North America, South America and some parts of Europe on February 9. Other regions will have to wait a little longer.
The exact wait time will depend on your region. For example, the UK will receive the new Dying Light expansion for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on February 12, although the PC version will also be available on February

In February Dying Light will receive a new update that is free for all players. The new update adds 250 legendary levels to add more progression to the end-game state of Dying Light. If you're a Dying Light player that has already completed Dying Light to 100% but you're still looking for a challenge, the 250 legendary levels should grab your interest.
The 250 new levels allow players to continue to unlock new content after each level up - new unlocks can include new gear, weapons, outfits emblems and even new skills.
Once a skill tree has been maxed out, you will then start to gain experience points for a new skill tree. The additional experience points will go towards the new legendary levels. Inside of the legendary levels skill tree you are given the ability to choose new upgrades to important stats such as damage, stamina and health, along with others.
Whilst base stats can be upgraded once per legendary level, you will only get access to additional rewards such

Earlier this year Techland created a spoof advertising poster for a glass of water, in retaliation to Destiny's Red Bull campaign that featured a similar poster. Since then, the fun poking has quieted down at Techland but it looks like the Dying Light developers had a little bit more up their sleeve this whole time.
Techland are gearing up to release a three part DLC campaign that fortunately will be available to Dying Light players free of charge. All of the DLC parts will be based around water in some way or another. The first DLC part is called the Fountain of Youth and features a quest in Old Town. The second DLC part is Water 2.0, which is a blueprint for a throwable weapon that can increase the output of electric attacks. The final DLC part includes a number of water themed parkour challenges.
The DLC content that has just been announced will be available by February 9, which is the same date that Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition releases. Players who purchase

Whilst Dying Light was originally planned for release in March, and then delayed to February next year, it has now been pushed forward to a January release, revealed developer Techland.
The release date for North America has been set for January 27th for all platforms, whilst Europe has received a release date of January 28th for all platforms.
Dying Light is a new open world first person survival game that mixes elements from games like Dead Island and Left 4 Dead with parkour elements similar to those from Mirror’s Edge. The result is a free-flowing zombie game that focuses on allowing players to use the scenery and environment to their advantage.
Like Techland's previous IP, Dead Island, Dying Light takes a large focus on melee based combat, and a lot of the weapons that players will come across in the game will be melee based weapons such as knives, clubs or wrenches - pretty much what we've come to expect from any zombie game.
I personally think the parkour

It looks like the developers of the Dead Island series aren't quite done with Zombie games just yet. A new gameplay video shows Dying Light, the new zombie title under development by Techland running smoothly at 1080P on the PlayStation 4.
The video was shown at the VGX Awards and focuses on three main pillars of the core game experience; melee combat, parkour and zombie damage.
The idea behind the game is to refresh the now worn out zombie survival genre by adding parkour elements into the game. At first I was a little curious about how Techland plan to pull this off successfully, but I was quite surprised at how smooth the gameplay experience went from parkour to zombie slashing action.
Along with the parkour mechanics, Techland have introduced a bunch of parkour-like combat actions that allow you to improvise with the environment and use hand-to-hand techniques to take on
