Next week, on Tuesday, March 10, Dying Light survivors will be treated to two updates.

For starters, Season Pass owners will get to download the Ultimate Survivor Bundle containing three new character outfits (Ninja, Urban Explorer, and Special Agent) and blueprints for four new weapons (The Constable, Night Club, Lacerator, and Buzz Killer). No, not very exciting, but it’s something. I guess. (BTW, what good are outfits in a first-person game when you don’t even see your character?)

Non-Season Pass owners will be able to buy the pack separately for $4.99.

Free for all Dying Light players, next Tuesday’s patch bringing the game up to version 1.4 is of far greater consequence. This update will introduce a more challenging and realistic Hard Mode, an extra tier to weapon rarity level, dozens of new weapons, additional endgame completion rewards, more character outfits, and a host of technical improvements to give gameplay balance, online functionality, graphics quality, and overall performance a healthy boost.

It’s kind of sad that content included in a free update is way more valuable than paid-for DLC included as part of a Season Pass. But alas that’s the DLC age we leave in.

Dying Light has only been out for a couple weeks now, but today already marks the release of the first downloadable content drop included as part of the zombie survival game’s $19.99 Season Pass. Well that sure didn’t take long.

The debut Season Pass DLC, titled Cuisine & Cargo, goes live today on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, offering players a hardcore challenge in two additional missions. As hinted at by the title, the missions include investigations leading to a restaurant (top screenshot) and railroad loading bay (screenshot directly below).

In addition to “other free initiatives which are already in the works and will be announced very soon,” two more DLC add-on packs are planned for Season Pass owners, including the Ultimate Survivor Bundle in March, and The Bozak Horde in May.

The Dying Light Season Pass contains:

•Cuisine & Cargo (February 10th) – Available exclusively as a part of the Season Pass offer, these two hardcore missions let players investigate buildings sealed off in the very first days of the outbreak. Explore the ominous corridors of once the most famous restaurant in Harran, and employ both stealth and combat to ransack a zombie-filled loading bay at the abandoned railroad yard.

•Ultimate Survivor Bundle (March) – Players will receive seven unique in-game items that will bring fighting zombies to a whole new level. Grab three special outfits and four blueprints for over-the-top weapons to make your adventure in the quarantine zone even more fun.

•The Bozak Horde (May) – The final Season Pass drop will deliver a new map and gameplay, playable in single-player and co-op. Go inside the Harran Stadium and test your combat know-how against relentless hordes of the Infected. Fight increasingly stronger enemy waves as you oppose a mysterious psychopath called Bozak.

In an obvious jab at today’s launch of Evolve, Techland also has put out a new video showcasing the 4v1 asymmetric multiplayer action found in Dying Light‘s Be the Zombie mode. Even if you don’t care about Be the Zombie mode, you’ll still want to tune in to get a code which can be redeemed at Dockets.DyingLightGame.com for a free in-game weapon.
