Dying Light: The Beast's Restored Land update isn't DLC, lead says – it's "another chapter" in the survival horror that's adding permadeath, New Game+, a hunger meter, and more

Techland's latest zombie slasher Dying Light: The Beast just got a massive free update as part of a re-release, and it comes with a thrilling new survival-heavy way to experience it.

"After releasing The Beast, we were doing several big updates where we wanted to add New Game +, legend levels, and nightmare mode," lead producer Michał Broda tells GamesRadar+ in an interview. "We were sitting down at the airport, actually, and we were figuring out how we can push the envelope a little bit more and do something to offer a different experience. So for me, Restored Land is another chapter in Dying Light: The Beast's life cycle." Calling it a mode, Broda says, would be "diminishing the scale" of how many systems had to be reworked for it.
