After multiple delays, Dying Light 2 launched at the start of February to enormous success, both critically and from the game's initial sales. This is all in spite of the launch day issues and bugs, which were numerous. Thankfully, Techland has continued to chip away at the issues plaguing the overall experience, releasing a number of updates which have addressed a multitude of issues including Dying Light 2's problematic Death Loop bug.
Positioned as a live service game, consistent updates should be expected. In addition to bug squashing and various improvements, Dying Light 2 has already started to see plenty of free downloadable content as well. Cosmetic packs for Authority and Peacekeeper-themed gear have recently been made available, allowing players to dress protagonist Aiden Caldwell as one of the factions. Now, Techland has revealed new cosmetic content coming to the game, though it will require players to stay vigilant in order to complete the set.
Announced on the official Dying Light 2 Twitter account, the Ronin Pack allows players to look like a futuristic style Ronin wandering the zombie ridden streets of Villador. However, this free DLC release has a catch in that players will need to claim the gear in three separate parts in order to complete the full set. Part 1 became available on February 21 and includes the Jacket, Pants, and shoes.
Part 2 releases on February 23 and comes with the mask, light guards, and gloves. The final part of this free DLC arrives on February 25 and includes a powerful and unique katana to fully complete the masterless samurai look. Thankfully, Dying Light 2 players can grab these items whenever as they can't be missed. While they're releasing across multiple days, the gear will be available to download from online marketplaces including Steam, Epic Games Store, as well as the Xbox and PlayStation stores.
These cosmetic packs are only the tip of the iceberg for Dying Light 2. Prior to the game's launch, Techland revealed a roadmap for Dying Light 2 along with plans for over five years of support. This includes special events, new challenges, DLC weapons and other gear, as well as story DLC. Along with a reported 500 hours of gameplay, Techland certainly wants players to stay invested for the long haul in the world it has created.
Dying Light 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
