Dying Light is on the way this month, and Techland is gearing up releasing even more gameplay footage. Seriously, I feel like I’ve played through about half the game already. Under the spotlight this time is the game’s pre-order only ‘Be the Zombie’ DLC.
In which you… be the zombie. Well, not really actually, you’re more like a kind of super-speedy monster with x-ray vision that uses some kind of nasty tentacle thing to choke people to death.
It’s not a particularly in-depth look at how the mode works, but I like the idea of being able to invade players’ games and stalk them through the pitch-black streets while cackling mercilessly. Although you’re much faster and more dangerous in close combat than your human targets, they can team up to take you down. Much like playing the monster in Evolve, you’re going to have to work out the best moment to unleash your super zombie powers.
Dying Light hits PC and next-gen consoles on January 27.
