This month is a special time for developer Techland, which is celebratingDying Light 2’ssecond anniversary. Over the past couple of years, Techland has released many updates for its community, including crossover events with franchises likeThe Walking Dead, community-focused initiatives like community maps, numerous enemy variants, and much more. It’s also perhaps no surprise that Techland wanted to topDying Light 2’s first-anniversary celebrationslast year, with its month-long second-anniversary celebrations including the game’s biggest update yet.
While its Year of the Dragon additions kicked off the party,Dying Light 2’s second-anniversary celebrations include its highly anticipated Firearms Update. Techland is also releasing aReloaded Edition forDying Light 2on the same day as the Firearms Update, with both arriving on February 22. And as if all that wasn’t enough, there will be more in the form of Anniversary bounties and rewards.
Dying Light 2’s Second Anniversary Celebrations
Dying Light 2’s Firearms Update is a significant part of its second-anniversary celebrations, enabling players to use various types of firearms in Villedor. Adding firearms was also highly requested by its community - a call that Techland readily answered. The Firearms Update also boasts a host of additional content, brings back two legendary characters fromDying Light 1, introduces rewards connected to the original game, and much more.
The second-anniversary celebrations also include the arrival ofDying Light 2’s Reloaded Edition which includes the massive Firearms Update. It’s the richest edition of the zombie-slaying game to date and includes all previously released content forDying Light 2, includingDying Light 2’s Bloody Ties DLC. For those who don’t own a copy of the game, the Reloaded Edition effectively replaces its standard edition, giving new players even more for their money. The free nature of the Firearms Update for those who already own the game is also a nice touch for its existing community.

WHERE TO PLAY
It’s been 20 years since the events of the original game. The virus won, and humanity is slowly dying. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a wandering Pilgrim who delivers goods, brings news, and connects the few remaining survivor settlements in barren lands devastated by the zombie virus. However, your true goal is to find your little sister Mia, who you left behind as a kid to escape Dr. Waltz’s torturous experiments. Haunted by the past, you eventually make the decision to confront it when you learn that Mia may still be alive in Villedor — the last city standing on Earth.You quickly find yourself in a settlement torn by conflict. You’ll need to engage in creative and gory combat, so hone your skills to defeat hordes of zombies and make allies. Roam the city, free run across Villedor’s buildings and rooftops in search of loot in remote areas, and be wary of the night. With every sunset, monsters take control of the streets.
