Dying Light: Bad Blood, the upcoming “brutal royale” game by Techland, will launch via Steam Early Access in September, the studio announced today.
A few months ago, Techland releasedthe first gameplay trailer forDying Light: Bad Bloodthat gave players a preview of the upcoming title. Now, it is clear that the game will not only want players to worry about the threat of other players, but also the danger of a zombie-infested environment. The game will incorporateDying Light’szombie survival-horror gameplay, with the ever-popular battle royale mechanic in a 12-player “brutal royale” that will “creatively blend” both player-versus-player and player-versus-environment combat.
Each battle will begin with 12 players entering the arena to scavenge for supplies, weapons, destroy hordes of zombies, and eliminate other players. The game has one objective: to be the last man standing and escape via an evacuation chopper, which will be the only means to make it out alive.
The Steam Early Access forBad Bloodwill commence in September but will require players to purchase theFounder’s Pack, which will cost $19.99 and will include in-game currency and exclusive cosmetic items that will be delivered within a 3-month period.
