Bloody Ties DLC for Dying Light 2 Stay Human is Out Now!

Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition - jakub.kurowski

Celebrate with us the release of the first story-driven DLC for Dying Light 2 Stay Human. This time, the players will be able to visit the Carnage Hall - an old opera house turned fighting arena. The encounters will pose a real challenge, suitable for the most seasoned Pilgrims. However, this expansion is not only about a bloodsport tournament. Underneath the action-packed combat lies a deep narrative about power and revenge.

The dangerous show must go on
Carnage Hall is home to all manner of conflicts. In one moment, you might find yourself participating in a relatively small brawl only for you to jump straight into the Spectacle. What are those? Just the biggest fighting performances imaginable where you will not only have to clash with the Infected and other contenders but also perform various tasks to rile up the crowd and properly tell the story - think of it as a very bloody stage play. One of those might even take you back to the days of the crisis in Harran.

Actors of destruction
On your journey, you will meet a wide cast of characters with rich personalities and complicated relationships that drive everything around them. Discover the story of people such as - Astrid (Carnage Hall’s showrunner), Ciro (a young, enthusiastic fighter), and Skullface (the arena’s brutal champion).

Powerful loot
In a place like this, flashy weapons and equipment aren’t just the means of survival. They’re also an important symbol of status. That’s why you’ll need some serious gear to impress the crowd, such as the magnificent Carnage Manica - a special shield capable of withstanding even the heaviest of blows.

Fierce foes
You will also have to face a variety of new types of enemies. The wild Gorilla Demolisher, the dangerous Cataclysm, and the Molotov-throwing Grenadier. All of them, among an entire horde of the Infected and other fighters, will stand on your way to victory.

Trick or treat?! With Halloween just around the corner it’s high time to announce All Hallow’s Eve, the biggest in-game event since Dying Light 2 Stay Human’s release! Be prepared for a ton of frighteningly good fun in the City.

Scary, spooky Volatiles
Dying Light fans will definitely appreciate the return of classic Halloween-themed visual changes such as Volatiles wearing pumpkins on their heads (aka Pumpkintiles), and Infected will drop special resources known as Treats.

Where are the treats?!
Once you have enough Treats - you can visit a special Seasonal Agent - Baka The Unfortunate - and exchange them for quirky potions. These concoctions introduce many wacky things like making you jump higher, others can turn your vision into black and white mode!

Sweet, sweet bounties
During the event, players will have the opportunity to participate in special daily and weekly bounties. Completing them will provide gamers with ranking points and by increasing their rank, they will be able to buy special, Halloween-themed masks.

Community Treats
Don’t trick-or-treat alone! We’re introducing a new set of Global Goals focused on collecting treats by the entire community. So get that sugar rush on and fight together for awesome treats such as the Jack’O Mask or Dying Laugh Charm!

Die laughing
To top it all off, we will introduce a special bundle called “Dying Laugh.” This set will include some wicked items - the frightening clown costume, terrifying weapon, and scary paraglider skin. All of these items will be available for FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME between November 3rd and November 10th. This bundle will be distributed through various digital stores (Steam, Epic Games Store, PS Store, Microsoft Store…)

Dress for Carnage
The first story-driven DLC for Dying Light 2 Stay Human - Bloody Ties - is just around the corner! We believe it’s only appropriate to let our awesome community dress up for this special occasion! That’s why we are excited to introduce the Rais Commando Outfit.

All players who already own the base game or will buy before November 10th will have the chance to claim this outfit for free!

And if you indeed want to shine on the premiere of the Bloody Ties DLC, there are lots of other outfits to get in Dying Light 2 Stay Human.

Introducing Dying Light 2 Stay Human’s second Chapter - “A Huntress and a Hag”

Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition - jakub.kurowski

The City faces another danger, and this time… it can attack even during the day! Will you become the hunter or the prey? Join the Huntress and together face the great challenge that is the Hag!

The Second Chapter - A Huntress and a Hag
This time you have to focus on tracking and hunting your prey. Will you be able to help the Huntress put down once and for all the unimaginable horror that is the Hag and her legion of Pleaguebearers? The Hag is a very dangerous creature and an ultimate challenge for any hunter. However, acquiring the amazing new ranged weapons will definitely make it worth your time!
Embody the spirit of the Hunter with the new trailer of Chapter 2!

New Chapter Agent — time to meet Shen Xiu, AKA The Huntress - the newest Chapter Agent and a very talented tracker. Have you ever come across various bow containers on your journey? All of those used to belong to her as she is an expert in ranged weapons. Moreover, she represents the Hunters - a mysterious faction of very talented huntsmen employed to track down and eliminate the most dangerous of the Infected. The chase for her newest prey led her all the way to the City.

New Enemies — face brand new dangers in the form of the Hag (a threatening Banshee Variant) and Plaguebearers (Human Enemies infected by the Hag). But watch out - she is a very fast and nimble foe that is almost impossible to hit in close quarters and can easily catch you off guard. The Hag can even resist daylight or UV light, so you must rethink your tactics! Furthermore, her Pleaguebearers are almost indistinguishable from normal people, and only your Survivor Sense can help you detect them. Upon their death, they will release a toxic fog that can instantly turn any human enemies around them into Infected!

New Weapons — unlock powerful gear such as the Hunter’s Crossbow or Ballista Bow; an impressive new addition to your arsenal of ranged weapons. However, the melee weapons enthusiasts will also have a blast with deadly weapons such as the Basher.

New Bounties — face the brand new series of bounties focused entirely on defeating your enemies with traps, ranged weapons, or without getting hit.

Revisit Chapter 1 — the first Chapter’s content will still be available. Moreover, Harper - the previous Chapter Agent - will have brand new weapons, blueprints, packs, and bounties to offer.
“We wanted to present players with a challenge like none they have seen before. The Hag is meant to be an extraordinary foe, powerful enough even to bend the game’s rules - making the Day in the City as dangerous and tense as the Night. The hunt is on, and you’ll have to be constantly on your toes if you don’t want to end up as the prey.” - Paweł Płaza, Techland’s Publishing Product Owner for Dying Light 2 Stay Human.

New “At the Fish Eye” episode
You can hear Techland’s Paweł Płaza talk more in-depth about the Hag, her abilities, the mysterious Hunters faction, and the dangers of the hunt in the newest episode of our “At the Fish Eye” series!
