Dying Light 2 Update 1.3.0; New Game Plus and Additional Mission

In a few days it will be a quarter of a year since the release of Dying Light 2. The game by Techland achieved a considerable success both commerial and image-wise - the sequel turned out to be simply a very good game. However, there is always room for improvement and additional content. Both are offered by patch 1.3.0, released today. Its main attraction is the promised New Game Plus mode.

All the new features are summarized in the trailer below.

New Game Plus in Dying Light 2

Techland did not follow the path taken by CD Projekt RED with The Witcher 3 and did not limit itself only to increasing the experience level of enemies. Instead a number of mechanics have been modified so that players who have already completed Dying Light 2, could count on a relatively fresh experience. Therefore:

• In the game world you can find 30 inhibitors unavailable at the first attempt, which will enable you to progress Aiden's character even further;
• New enemy behaviors have been implemented to make battles more challenging;
• The placement of enemies has also been changed, increasing the variety of infected groups;
• The level of zombies and humans you will have to fight scales up from the beginning of the campaign;
• A new, higher tier of legendary weapons has been added;
• While exploring the city of Villedor, you will encounter "golden" (more difficult) clashes with special creatures;
• By completing parkour challenges, we'll be able to fight for an even better "platinum" time.

Additional quests and a bunch of fixes

Another highlight is the a brand new quest - Something Big Has Been Here, where we will encounter a unique, elemental-using version of the Goon, which is a big and slow, but very strong infected.

Moreover, developer fixed a lot of bugs - in gameplay, in quests, in enemy AI and in game performance. The most interesting fixes can be found below, while the full list can be found here.

• Damage dealt by bow wielding enemies has been reduced, so they should be less annoying now.
• All achievements are now supposed to work properly (if you completed a trophy before the update, it will automatically pop into your account).
• All infected have become vulnerable to arrows.
• Improved hook usage.
• Added missing rewards in some skirmishes with bandits.
• Hakon doesn't disappear in Into Darkness, when completing it in co-op mode.
• If you are playing Dying Light 2 at a resolution of 5760×1080, you should no longer experience startup crashes.
