Dying Light 2 developer Techland has a plan for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. They’re going to release a bunch of cool free content in the next few months. This includes new missions, weapons, a tower raid mode, and more.
Some of this new content is coming next month, like a Halloween event and a unique crossover with Vampire: The Masquerade. In November, there will be another crossover event, this time with For Honor.
In December, get ready for a holiday-themed event. Additionally, they’re planning an anniversary event for Dying Light 2’s second birthday in February. You can find the Dying Light 2 roadmap in the tweet below.
Pilgrims, time to update you on our plans for the upcoming months!

While the roadmap gives release dates for some new features, others are less clear. We don’t have a release date for Tower Raid yet, but Techland did say it will have dungeon-style missions with changing challenges and rules inspired by rogue sites.
We’re also in the dark about when we’ll get free outfits, new enemy types, or text chat in the game. Interestingly, Techland mentioned that some of these ideas came from the Dying Light 2 fan community.
Dying Light 2 Nightmare Difficulty
Dying Light 2 fans have been requesting a tougher difficulty level for the past two years. Finally, they’ll get their wish with the upcoming Nightmare difficulty mode. It’s taken a while, but Techland has been thoughtful about its implementation.
This mode won’t simply make enemies stronger and the player weaker by increasing stats. Instead, they’re putting a lot of effort into crafting a challenging experience that feels meaningful and satisfying.
According to the company’s Twitter announcement, “Yes, but it won’t be just about spiking the numbers and settings up, we’re cooking hardcore, difficult experience for those who really like the challenge. Imagine it’s the nighttime, you’re desperate and there’s a chance your flashlight’s gonna fail the very moment you need it…”
A Fan commented, “is in this nightmare diificulty, the “during chase” will have something different to the actual chase ? because for now, chase or night experience is not very scary and not challenging, like, the chase at lvl 1 to lvl 4 is pretty same, i don’t see any difficulty through the lvls.”
Dying Light 2 Mod Support
The Dying Light 2 roadmap says they’re adding support for mods. PC users will definitely get to enjoy this, but Techland also wants to make mods a big deal on consoles. They mentioned that not all mods will work on PlayStation and Xbox, but they’ll do their best to bring in as many as they can.
