Techland has heard the cries of the Dying Light community, and pledge to make zombies tougher, the night-time scarier, and resources thin on the ground. This new Hard Mode is planned for around the start of March.
There are ”plenty of other additions” coming too when it comes to ratcheting up the difficulty. Techland also say there are ”many improvements” in the first content update, and new character outfits.
”A few gamers have already finished Dying Light and are asking for more. So we’re going to give our community a new challenge that will put everything they learnt in the game to the test. Hard Mode is exactly that. We’re aiming to have it out around the start of March, if not sooner. Depends on how brutal we wanna make this on people,” said producer Tymon Smektała.
The studio already announced ”free and extensive modding tools” are in the works. That hasn’t stopped people from already tweaking the game, from removing the Virales and Volatiles icons from radar, to making the player smell awful good to hungry zombies from really far away.
