Techland confirmed thatDying Light 2DLC 2includes additional gameplay systems and a new map, which will be revealed at a later date. Further, the studio reiterated its plans to enhance and improve the game with free updates. This process involves adding “a few more things” before the release of the new DLC in 2024.
