Dying Light Getting 10 Free DLC Packs Over 12 Months
Techland said that they plan on continuing support of Dying Light for a period of 12 months, beginning later this year. This support will include at least ten free additional DLC packs for the game.

It still holds up very well to this day, but it is surprising that this content is planned in lieu of any sort of a sequel... -

by Shawn ZipayGet that Premium Edition and play three days early!
Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.
Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!33.33%1I'm indifferent to the whole idea.33.33%1I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.33.33%1Other (describe below)0%0-
