Dying Light turns six-years-old this year, which is insane. I remember when this game released early in the year. No one thought it would sell that well. Sure, it was good, but it was only of note because nothing else was around when it came out. That turned out to be the biggest advantage the game ever had, because it went on to sell more and more. Now, millions of people have played Dying Light, and the game is still getting content added to it at a point when some developers have released and dropped their own MMOs in the same amount of time. Check out the celebratory video below and read on for the content you can play to celebrate.
Zombie Hunt Week 1
The first in-game event is a zombie hunt. It sees players pursue a specific type of zombie and kill it in order to get a reward for their own game. There’s also a global goal that requires the community to save 100,000 survivors. The reward for that is a golden sword. This first week is pretty much over now, but the second week is about to start.
Zombie Hunt Week 2
Once again, there’s another specific enemy to hunt. This one is bigger, badder, and way more dangerous. The reward is just as good though. The community goal is to collect 1,000,000 airdrops. No mean feat. The reward for that is a king mod, something that looks pretty damn powerful.
It doesn’t look like more is planned, but I’d say that there must be something else in the background. Already, two new paid DLC packs have released, so it’s likely that something else is happening at Techland to celebrate the game. Even if it’s just cosmetics for our clothes.
Now is the perfect time to play Dying Light. I believe that Dying Light 2 news has to be coming this year at some point. If you want to be up to date on the story when the game drops, you need to get through it at some point. There’s no better time than the present. Getting some new free rewards for the community doing stuff is also never a bad thing.
