"Dying Light: Retouched Update Revitalizes 10-Year-Old Zombie Parkour Classic, But Switch Owners Left in the Dark"
In a surprise move, Techland has released a free content update for its 2015 zombie parkour game, Dying Light, dubbed the Retouched update. This refreshing overhaul brings enhanced visuals and remastered audio to the 10-year-old post-apocalyptic hit, but Nintendo Switch players are notably absent from the party. As thousands of players continue to enjoy the game, we delve into the details of the update and explore what it means for the franchise's future.
The Retouched update, available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S, promises to breathe new life into the original Dying Light experience. The update boasts improved textures and lighting, as well as an audio overhaul that has been remastered from the ground up. While this is certainly exciting news for fans of the series, the notable exclusion of Nintendo Switch players has raised eyebrows. When asked about the possibility of a Switch update, a Techland representative confirmed that it's not in the cards, leaving Switch owners feeling left out.
Dying Light, first released in 2015, has maintained a dedicated player base over the years, with thousands still actively playing the game. The Retouched update is part of Techland's commitment to continually improving the game experience, as evidenced by the studio's ongoing support and content drops. The update's release coincides with the game's 10th anniversary celebrations, which have included events, announcements, and drops.
The Retouched update is a testament to Techland's dedication to its fan base and the game's enduring popularity. While the exclusion of Switch players is a disappointment, the update's release sets the stage for the upcoming launch of Dying Light: The Beast on August 22. As players rediscover the origins of the virus and replay through Kyle Crane's origin story, the Retouched update serves as a reminder that Dying Light is far from dead. With its sights set on the future, Techland is poised to continue delivering exciting experiences for fans of the franchise. In the words of Techland, "This is just part of our commitment to making the Dying Light experience even better, so watch this space!" As the franchise continues to evolve, one thing is clear: Dying Light is here to stay.
