Finally, the game will be available for free to all owners of Dying Light 2 Stay Human Ultimate Edition. This means it will be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. However, the release date is yet to be confirmed. That said, we do have ample story details to go off on, thanks to the reveal trailer.

The game takes place in a new rural open-world segment called Castor Woods, with a mysterious creature haunting the woods. With a small resident population, Kyle must help the civilians while taking on the various horrors that lurk around the sandbox. The familiar parkour and combat aspects return, with melee and firearms both accessible by the savior of Harran.

With Kyle having access to zombie DNA, he has superhuman powers to help him fight the zombie menace that peaks when the night falls in the form of a ravenous horde. Up to four players can engage in co-op to fight and survive to witness yet another break of daylight.
