Techland Adds Free Roguelite Mode to Dying Light 2

Techland continues to push the boundaries of Dying Light 2 with the introduction of Tower Raid, a dynamic, roguelite-inspired mode that promises unpredictable gameplay and high-stakes survival. After undergoing rigorous testing last year, this eagerly awaited mode is now officially part of the game, offering players a fresh and thrilling way to navigate the infected-ravaged world.

In Tower Raid, players step away from controlling Aiden Caldwell and instead take on the roles of one of four distinct warriors, each representing a unique combat archetype: Tank, Brawler, Ranger, or Specialist. These classes come with their own set of abilities, encouraging diverse playstyles and strategic teamwork. For those seeking an extreme challenge, Tower Raid allows players to reduce their team size or even brave the dangers of the tower solo.

The mode offers three difficulty levels—Quick, Normal, and Elite—each affecting the intensity and duration of the run. With procedurally generated sessions, no two ascents of the tower are ever the same. Players must adapt to shifting floor layouts and ever-changing enemy encounters to survive.

To keep the challenge engaging, Techland has introduced a brand-new progression system where every defeat brings new opportunities. Each unsuccessful attempt unlocks abilities and weapons, steadily improving players' odds in future runs. Within the tower, players can encounter Sola, a mysterious merchant who offers rare rewards such as the Office Day Outfit, Kuai Dagger, and Silenced Pistol to those skilled enough to earn them.

Despite preparing for the upcoming launch of Dying Light: The Beast, Techland remains committed to enhancing Dying Light 2 throughout 2025. Future updates will introduce improved co-op mechanics, refined matchmaking, expanded community map integration, additional Tower Raid characters, new melee and ranged weapons, a brand-new weapon class, enhancements to the prologue, and major graphical and technical optimizations.
