Dying Light 2 DLC

Dying Light 2: Stay Human is finally getting its first piece of single-player DLC, with the upcoming Bloody Ties DLC promising some action-based content. Here’s everything we know about the DLC ahead of it’s release.

One of the most successful parts of the first Dying Light was the way in which the game’s massive single-player DLC experiences were able to draw out the lifespan of the game. Years after release, Dying Light was able to keep a solid player count and interest in the game.

Dying Light 2 released at the beginning of the year and was one of the biggest games to hit the shelves in the early months of 2022. The game was met with positive reception from fans and critics alike, selling over 5 million copies during its first month on release.

Developer Techland is hoping that Dying Light 2: Stay Human’s new DLC will serve a similar purpose. Here’s a rundown of the DLC, how to access it, and what content players should expect.
