Dying Light 2 is getting something of a nightmarish facelift, with the simple experience of venturing outside at night getting a drastic overhaul. The 'Good night, Good Luck' update will make nights darker and infected Volatiles more prevalent, alongside parkour improvements and a whole bunch more. We got an update trailer, courtesy of IGN, showing it all in action, and the update itself goes live on PS5 and PS4 on 29th June.
A victim of expectations and a disappointing lack of meaningful narrative options at launch, Dying Light 2 nonetheless sold like hotcakes, and developer Techland committed to supporting the title for a further five years of free updates. Paid DLC is available as well, but some of the free updates have been quite meaningful, such as Gut Feeling, which made changes to melee combat, physics, and gore detail in what felt like a direct response to Dead Island 2's FLESH system.

It's strange that they've spent years adding stuff to the game that was present in the first one, it would of been a far more enjoyable game if it was all there from the start.
I played this on launch and found it incredibly boring.
No idea if you can patch/upgrade your way out of that, the idea of adding more content to an already very long game (I played 10 hours and got nowhere near the end of the game) seems counterproductive to me.
the gameplay changes could be interesting
I haven’t finished this game and I’ve had it for a year. They removed the horror elements and made it a characterless Ubisoft-lite clone, it’s so dull. These updates though do seem to be for the better and maybe this can be saved.
Me, like many others played it day 1 and never picked it up after that. Such a step back from the first one
@Daveuppercut Years? It was only released last year.
Good night/good luck is exactly what I said when I finished the game last year. Before they added the finishing touches themselves?
@WallyWest Oh dear, my grasp of time is slipping as I get older, could of sworn it came out in 2021.
@lolwhatno Yeah the subreddit is really positive now, its actually quite a nice vibe on there nowadays.
More reasons to never Day One a AAA game...
Why pay $70 for unfinished & unpolished games.
