Techland announced today that a free demo of its critically-acclaimed zombie game Dying Light is now available to download on Xbox One and PC, with the PlayStation 4 demo out later today in North America.
The demo lets players explore most of the Slums area and offers 3 hours of unique content, including one story quest chain and a number of side quests, challenges, and random encounters. It also features all the core gameplay mechanics of Dying Light, such as the day and night cycle, parkour-based Natural Movement system, creative brutality and crafting. Additionally, the demo supports online co-op mode for up to 4 players.
“With the demand for Dying Light still high after more than half a year on the market, we wondered what else we could do to help players decide which game to buy’, “says producer Tymon Smektała. “Then we thought: demoes were pretty much a standard in the previous generation, but suddenly they’ve become few and far between. So we decided to use some of our resources to release a demo now and let everyone experience our game first-hand.”
Primarily Techland is also currently working on a story-based expansion titled Dying Light: The Following, which will introduce drivable dirt buggies, a new massive map, and a new progression system to the game. Yesterday the company released 15+ minutes of uncut gameplay from the expansion, which is posted below.
Dying Light: The Following will be priced at $14.99, while all Season Pass holders will receive the expansion completely free.
