Techland is celebrating its 10th anniversary of the Dying Light series since launching the first Dying Light a decade ago. This year also marks the third anniversary of Dying Light 2, and a new update is being released alongside this milestone. Many have been excited about this update, but unfortunately, will have to prolong their anticipation a little longer due to a technical hiccup. Techland announced that the next update for Dying Light 2 would experience a slight delay along with the planned changes and patch notes.
The update targets various bug fixes for gameplay, mechanics, and UI issues. Photo mode is receiving new content to celebrate the occasion, and new rewards and bundles are also being released for players, but the biggest change is the addition of a standalone Tower Raid mode.
Aside from this new content, here are all the fixes and improvements with the Dying Light 2 anniversary update.
