Techland has detailed the Firearms Update for Dying Light 2 as well as the new Reloaded Edition, both due out February 22.
Two years after the zombie kill ‘em-up came out, Techland is releasing a Reloaded Edition designed to refresh the game and encourage new players to get stuck in. It includes all previous updates along with the Firearms Update, as well as the Bloody Ties DLC. Current owners of the Standard Edition get upgraded for free, Techland said.
The Firearms Update includes a number of changes, none as meaningful as the ability to shoot the enemies with guns. While the addition of guns obviously changes things up for the previously melee-focused action game, Techland told fans the essence of Dying Light 2 remains. “It is important to note that firearms are an enhancement rather than a complete change of genre,” Techland said. “They open new possibilities without altering the DNA of the game.”
Meanwhile, other additions include co-op survivor missions, board quests, and “various notable visual enhancements”. Story wise, some characters from the first Dying Light game make an appearance.
As part of the launch, Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition is available to play on PC during a free weekend on Steam, between February 22-26. Progression carries over if you buy the game.
When Dying Light 2 came out in February 2022, Techland promised five years of post-release support. IGN’s Dying Light 2 review returned a 7/10. “Dying Light 2 Stay Human is an ambitious zombie action adventure that's packed with top-notch parkour, an awesome open world, and every painful bug in the book,” we said. Since launch, the game has received a number of updates, although this week’s Firearms update is its most significant.

With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth right around the corner, you would likely assume the Square Enix sequel to be dominating the pre-order charts found on Sony's own PS Store. However, for roughly a week now, this hasn't actually been the case. Ever since the confirmation of the PS5, PS4 Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection, the RPG follow-up has had to fend off stiff competition to claim top spot from two re-released PS2 classics.
