Dying Light: The Beast’s Restored Land just received a hotfix that’s addressing a bunch of issues that could be interfering with your time in Castor Woods. Whether you’re new to Kyle Crane’s explosive return to the franchise’s center stage or learning to master the game’s unique parkour system, this is an update you want to pay a little attention to.
That’s because it’s bringing a long list of balancing changes to systems governing your hunger (like reducing the drain while sleeping) and recovery from it alongside other changes like nifty new additions to vendor shops, legendary upgrades for DLC weapon blueprints, and some clever changes to you inventory management that ensure you don’t miss out on new gear thanks to a shortage of space in your inventory and stash. The complete list, which you can check below, showcases Techland’s determination to ensure Restored Land is as close to perfect as it can be for its players.
For our part, we were quite happy with what the update has brought to the table, its new modes and other additions making the game feel fresh enough to warrant another playthrough.
