It's not a full on remaster but it looks like it's the next best thing.

Most of the footage is a rehash of what we saw out of E3 along with some footage of the first game. The video is available at 4K streaming, or those that subscribe to Digital Foundry can...

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. An 11th pack is planned but this one is said to actually arrive before the start of the 12 month run. Dying Light, if you recall, first came out about three years ago. 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...
