The festive season has officially commenced in Dying Light 2 with the launch of the 2024 Christmas event titled “Winter Tales: Gifts from Above.”This limited-time event invites players to engage in holiday-inspired activities while offering the chance to earn exclusive rewards. Techland, the creator of the game, has previously referred to the Winter Tales event as a heartfelt tribute to its dedicated player community.
Recently, Techland rolled out update 1.20, enhancing the game’s prologue and resolving numerous issues. This update paralleled the announcement of the Winter Tales event’s return, reinforcing Techland’s commitment to continuous improvement and engagement within the game’s community.

In the spirit of generosity, Techland is offering all players the Above the Law Bundle for free until the event concludes on January 2. This bundle includes the Peacekeeper Outfit, two crafting blueprints, and a special skin for the paraglider, which typically would require the use of DL Points, the game’s premium currency.
The prior update, version 1.19, introduced a Halloween-themed edition of the Tower Raid, a mode that transforms the game into a roguelike experience. This update featured a new final boss, diverse floor types, and unique playable characters with distinct abilities. In addition, it encompassed various bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements, showcasing Techland’s ongoing dedication to refining player experience.
This past August, Techland revealed an exciting standalone game, Dying Light: The Beast, featuring the series’ original protagonist, Kyle Crane. Originally intended to be the second expansion for Dying Light 2, the project expanded in scope following a narrative leak. Players who purchased the Ultimate Edition of Dying Light 2 will receive this new title at no additional cost, illustrating Techland’s approach to rewarding its loyal players.
