Dying Light goes battle royale, because of course they do.
It's 2018 so of course there is yabrg (yet another battle royale game). At least this one has zombies and cricket bats.
Techland is riding the fad with Dying Light: Bad Blood. It's available now as an Early Access game via Steam. You plunk down $20 bucks and get a Founders Pack that will both unlock access and load you up with the following skins and things that will be exclusive to the early access founders:
- Exclusive Golden Founder’s Mask
- 3 exclusive Legendary weapon skins: Golden Neckslicer (dagger), Golden Bonecleaver (machete), and Golden Skullopener (cricket bat).
- 1000 Blood bucks, the in-game currency spendable in the game’s store
- Bonus: 3 exclusive Legendary skins distributed over 3 months
No word on when the game will move from early access, but the intent is for it to eventually be a free to play title for both PC and consoles. From the blood bucks listed above it's pretty obvious it's going to be a micro transaction heavy affair. I've played battle royale games enough to know they are just not my thing, but if they are yours then maybe this is a take on the action worth checking out.

The Road Ahead

Throughout Early Access there will be free content updates appearing regularly in Drops, providing players with new items, characters, maps and more.
