As a response to
numerous fan requests for a Player-vs-Player approach to Dying Light, and the
recent popularity of the battle royale genre among the survival horror fans,
today Techland unveiled its new standalone expansion - Dying Light: Bad Blood.
While retaining the core of what made people fall in love with Dying Light in
the first place, Bad Blood will offer violent and dynamic online matches that
blend PvP and PvE styles of gameplay.
“Our aim is both to satisfy players’ demands for competitive PvP gameplay and to
explore new directions for Dying Light’s multiplayer experience,” said Tymon
Smektala, Producer at Techland. “Since Bad Blood was inspired by fan requests,
we want player feedback to be an integral part of our development. That's why
we’re inviting Dying Light fans to take part in our Global Playtest. They can
play the expansion early and share their thoughts, knowing their feedback will
have a major influence on Bad Blood's development.”
Global Playtest is a closed online event that allows selected players to try out
Dying Light: Bad Blood before its release. PC players can register for the
playtest now.
