During Gamescom Opening Night Live earlier today, the first official story DLC for Dying Light 2, Bloody Ties, was confirmed for an October release, with a new trailer showcasing a gladiatorial arena and multiple new characters.
Dying Light 2: Bloody Ties takes players to The Carnage Hall, an old opera concert venue which has been repurposed as a Roman gladiator-style arena. The new locale will include multiple challenges, quests, weapon types, and more.
This DLC has been a long time coming, having been delayed into September after an initially planned summer release. At the time, Techland said it was adding more features like a New Game Plus and a FOV slider for consoles. This is part of a long tail of planned content for Dying Light 2, with its Chapter 2 content coming in November. All in all the studio is planning to release five years of support, which will include even more story content.
