Size Matters | Massive Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition Map Explored in Trailer
Techland’s Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition will expand its game world with a brand-new region more than twice the size as the original game. On top of new characters, enemies and quests, the new map - called Countryside - is bringing in new environments, locations and secrets, some of which players can see in the trailer released today.
‘We made sure the new region is full of diverse environments that allow for both driving and free-running. We’ve added lots of little details that tell various apocalyptic stories if you look closely, and placed rewarding secrets for the most inquisitive’ - reveals producer Tymon Smektała. - ‘We’re also proud to confirm that despite the much bigger map and many visual enhancements, the system requirements for PC players remain exactly the same.’
Last week Techland unveiled a map of the new region through its #TweetForSpeed campaign - the interactive map can be viewed here. Furthermore, in the latest stream which can be viewed here, the developers confirmed that select community maps will be coming to console versions of Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition.

Oil and Blood | 4vs1 Multiplayer Reimagined in Dying Light: The Following
Dying Light’ s asymmetric PvP multiplayer mode Be the Zombie returns in Dying Light: The Following to unveil a new dimension of 4vs1 online matches. As showcased in the trailer, the competitive gameplay gets much more dynamic and violent with the addition of weaponized buggies and the new map, allowing players to come up with completely new tactics for both survivors and the Night Hunter.
‘Be the Zombie plays much different in the expansion not only because of buggies and the new environment, but also because of various balance tweaks we made to the Night Hunter’ - explains producer Tymon Smektała. ’Altogether it translates into a new experience that will surprise even veteran Be the Zombie players.’
Techland also recently released a unique time-lapse video showcasing the evolution of zombies in works of popular culture - from the classic movies of the 1930s to modern video games.
Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition launches on February 9th, 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
