Thanks for all your feedback, we see it and we appreciate it. 10 years after release Dying Light: Retouched is a nice upgrade for the Techland zombie gameJun 26, 2025 - GamingOnLinuxDying Light (the original) is still one of the best open-world zombie games around, and now perhaps just even better with the Dying Light: Retouched update. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/06/10-years-after-release-dying-light-retouched-is-a-nice-upgrade-for-the-techland-zombie-game/ Dying Light Retouched UpdateJun 26, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsFirst announced during our 10th Anniversary celebrations, the now-named Retouched Update for Dying Light is now live! So, if you want to rediscover the origins of the virus, replay through Kyle Crane’s origin story or enjoy Harran again, there’s never been a better time.What exactly has arrived with the Retouched Update?Higher resolution texturesUpscaled skyboxes & clouds“Ultra”-level quality shadowsFully remastered soundtrack from the original composer, Paweł BłaszczakNew tracks and ambient themes added to the gamePlease note: The exact changes may vary by platform.If you want to get into the more technical side, make sure to check out the latest DevBlog which will certainly cover what you want to know.And this is just part of our commitment to making the Dying Light experience even better, so watch this space!So, go see the enhancements for yourself and jump back into the shoes of Kyle in preparation for Dying Light: The Beast being unleashed on August 22!Ten Years Later - Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26Jun 24, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsIt's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.Let’s be clear: Enhancements, not Remaster!Back in January, when we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of Dying Light, I announced that we are working on a new update for the original Dying Light. Ten years later and the game that started it all is still going strong! When I looked online the day after the video, my heart skipped a beat. Quite a few of you were expecting a full remaster of some sort.So, let's set the record straight: the Retouched Update is about squeezing out even more from the Dying Light you already love. It’s not a complete overhaul or remaster.Even without the update, Dying Light still holds up pretty well - just imagine that it’s 10 years old! But to truly explain what we've changed, I sat down with the brilliant minds who made it happen: Grzegorz Świstowski, our Technical Game Director, and Krzysztof Knefel, Lead 3D Artist: "One of the best things about working with your own engine is that the people building it are just next door," explains Grzegorz Świstowski, our Technical Game Director. "Over the past couple of years, we've added a lot, customized a lot, and learned how to squeeze more from the tech we already have. One day, someone just started applying those learnings to some old assets - and it just clicked that we could do that across the whole game."So we put some more people on it. We started increasing texture quality of surroundings and upscaling them to create a sharper, better look in the game. “It was a lot of manual work - but increasing the texture resolution or quality can have a huge impact on how the environment appears on screen,” said Krzysztof Knefel. Just look at the comparison of these wooden wall panels!Krzysztof spent a lot of time by manually adjusting and tweaking assets, squeezing out every last bit of visual quality. A big part of this involved improving lighting and PBR (physics based rendering). “With so many years of experience with PBR we're improving how metallic surfaces reflect light or react physically to the world which makes them look a lot more realistic!” You can see the difference on the metal hanga...Sign Up for Our Newsletter to Stay Up to Date with the Latest NewsJun 14, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWith so many different things happening in a world overrun by zombies, it's easy to lose track of the most important news.

Praised as the “Hero of Harran” and a man who sacrificed himself to the point of infection, you became target no. 1 for the Baron’s brutal, beastly experiments. After being used as a human guinea pig for more than a decade and having your DNA spliced with zombie strains, you break out. But you are not free. Now, an internal conflict begins as the virus takes over: it’s man vs. monster. You want more than anything to return to the old you, but he’s all but gone. However, you can still find the strength to make sure your human DNA remains dominant. And while these primal beast-like abilities may be seen as a curse, they may j...DYING LIGHT FRANCHISE SALEJun 5, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4778592/e3ec98a2649ef7c6b851970945516f84f5bd62c1.png Journey into the world of Dying Light.
