Dying Light 2 New Update 1.073 Is Nothing to Get Excited About
Today, developer Techland has released Dying Light 2 update 1.073/1.73 on consoles and PC. If you’re wondering what this title update added, you won’t be able to guess it since it doesn’t really bring any changes to gameplay.
To mark today’s announcement of Dying Light: The Beast’s release date and gameplay debut, Techland has released an update to the zombie game to remind players that there is a new Dying Light experience on the way.
Dying Light 2’s New Update Adds Double XP and The Beast Message via Version 1.073/1.73
While Techland hasn’t said anything about today’s patch. checking the game’s Discord server confirmed that today’s update brought in a pre-order message for Dying Light: The Beast and double XP.
Yep, that’s basically it. For players who pre-order the game, you’ll receive the Hero of Harran Bundle as a bonus.
Hero of Harran Bundle
Taking a trip through Castor Woods is a deadly detour for most people. Well, you’re not “most people”, especially with the Hero of Harran Bundle in your arsenal. Transform these terrains into your personal playground with its weapons, all while looking like a true post-apo survivor! Are you ready to take on Castor Woods?
The Hero of Harran Bundle features a set of items that won’t just help you in Castor Woods, but also honors the legacy of the Dying Light franchise. Some of them might just bring back the memories of your time in Harran:
- Ultimate Survivor Outfit – Known as the Juggernaut outfit in Dying Light, this cool makeshift apocalyptic look was rewarded to the most dedicated survivors.
- Harran Combat Knife (+ upgradable Blueprint) – A swift and deadly weapon, the zombie head engraving on the blade is a throwback to the original Dying Light’s box art.
- The Follower Crossbow (+ upgradable Blueprint) – First found in Dying Light: The Following expansion, this crossbow is perfect for a stealthier approach.
- In Jade’s Memory Pistol (+ upgradable Blueprint) – Jade Aldemir – she’s one of the reasons you made it out of Harran alive. With her likeness on the grip, think of her with every bullet you fire from this pistol.
- Castor Woods Patrol – Rescuing hikers from the woods and cats from trees was a breeze for this powerful beast. Now put it to the real test and see how it handles the zombie apocalypse!
Here’s an overview of what awaits in Dying Light: The Beast, which is a standalone experience.
“Dying Light: The Beast is unlike anything else in the genre. Building tension beyond narrow corridors or tight spaces, discover an experience that blends open-world freedom with intense, atmospheric survival horror, brutal combat and natural movement.
In this world, fear has nowhere to hide. To keep yourself alive to see another day, you’ll need to use all the tools in your arsenal. Outmaneuver enemies with your parkour skills, tear them limb from limb with visceral melee moves or bring out the big guns, like a UV grenade launcher or flamethrower. But never forget: ammo is a rarity here.”
Given Dying Light 2 and The Beast are two separate entities, title updates for the two games will be separate as well. Dying Light: The Beast will be released on August 22, and expect more coverage about it here on MP1st.
