The Bad Blood expansion for Dying Light is going to be Techland’s take on the Battle Royale genre, and we’ve already seen what it looks like. Well, we can now also play the game for ourselves, because it has just launched on Steam Early Access.

The standalone expansion will be free for its full release, but you will actually have to buy the game to get into Early Access. Basically, you will have to buy the Founders Pack, which will give you Early Access to the game, along with the exclusive Golden Founder’s Mask, 1000 Blood bucks, and also 3 exclusive legendary skins, which you get over a period of three months.

In this game, there will be a total of twelve players in a match, and they will have to face off against each other, and also against zombies. You will have to collect blood samples from the latter. Once you get samples, you can call for a chopper so as to be evacuated. However, only one player can be evacuated, so you will eventually have to gun down all of the remaining surviving players if you want to win.

It looks great overall, and sounds like a neat concept, but we’ll have to wait and see how players like it. Are you going to give it a go? Let us know in the comments section below.

It was announced back in December that an expansion in the Battle Royale genre was in the works for Dying Light. This will be a standalone expansion called Dying Light: Bad Blood and it’s clear that Techland is following up with the rising popularity of the genre. Now a new 10-minute long gameplay video has been shared by IGN.

In Dying Light: Bad Blood, players fight zombies and collect blood samples from them. The player can these use these samples for a seat on the chopper so that they can escape. This adds in an element of unpredictability as players might fight alongside each other against the zombies but will then have to turn against one another so as to get the required blood samples.

You can check out the new gameplay video below. While no release date has been revealed as of now, we can assume that this expansion will release sometime this year.
