Back in mid-April 2025, the much-anticipated update 1.22 for Dying Light 2 launched, bringing a suite of fresh features and enhancements, particularly focusing on new weapons, UX tweaks, and cooperative play improvements. Among the standout additions, players will now find a brand-new Visual Mods tool, allowing those passionate about customization to get creative with environment textures, clothing, and weapons.
As we mark the third anniversary since Dying Light 2: Stay Human hit the shelves, it’s evident Techland, the Polish developer powerhouse, is showing no signs of slowing down. Regular updates have kept the open-world action RPG alive and kicking, engaging a community that’s as hungry for new content as the game’s zombies are for brains.
Continuing its impressive streak of updates, Techland rolled out version 1.22, focusing on revitalizing the co-op experience and enhancing user interactions. The beloved Tower Raid mode has been revamped with a tantalizing array of 27 new weapons, including intriguing Elemental Pistols. These are not your run-of-the-mill additions—they come with special traits that promise to give gameplay a novel twist, challenging players to adapt and explore different tactics. There are also sparkling new Tower Raid rewards that include exclusive cosmetic items such as the coveted Breach outfit.
A special mention goes to the UX refinements aimed at making crucial Tower Raid rewards more user-friendly. No longer will players scramble to claim unlocked treasures; instead, they can leisurely peruse their spoils. Additionally, subtle HUD adjustments ensure notifications about new achievements are hard to miss.
Complementing the cosmetics and weapons enhancements, this spring’s patch fine-tunes the Dying Light 2 co-op play by correcting various synchronization issues and enemy behavior problems. Another compelling update in the Techland toolkit is the new visual mods feature, tailored for PC players eager to stamp their artistic flair on the game’s surfaces. Although a PC-exclusive for now, console users can expect access in the near future.
With update 1.22 laying the foundation, 2025’s roadmap for Dying Light 2 promises an exciting journey. Coming soon are events celebrating the series’ 10th anniversary, a thrilling Halloween experience, and another significant autumn update rivaling this spring’s release. And let’s not forget the Winter Tales to round out the year.
