February 5th, 2018 – Wrocław, Poland / Techland, a leading developer and publisher of video games, is proud to communicate that it’s been three years since the global zombie infestation known as Dying Light spread across the world. As both a thank you to fans and an invitation to new players, Techland is today kicking off a series of exciting promotions with a couple of surprises hurled into the mix:

  • Free stuff giveaways on Steam and Gemly
  • Undying Love – Valentine’s Day community bounty
  • Content Drop #3 – free in-game content for all players and platforms
  • Discounts for the game and additional contents – up to 67% off

Expect to hear more about upcoming activities over the next few weeks and watch the anniversary video below.

“Dying Light’s longevity is a result of the studio’s hard work, combined with the efforts of our community, who have shown unparalleled love for the game and spent countless hours in Harran. We are nothing but thankful for this exceptional commitment and players’ eagerness to provide us with constructive feedback that helped us make a better game,” said Tymon Smektała, producer of Dying Light & Dying Light: The Following.

The zombie virus a.k.a. Dying Light has taken its toll on over 13 million players with more than 500 thousand unique players roaming the city of Harran every week. The game was honoured with over 50 awards, and a one-of-a-kind player community who still support the game through various channels and help spread the virus across the globe. Seeing this unflagging enthusiasm, last year at E3 Techland committed to deliver 10 free DLCs in 12 months, extending the players’ enjoyment of the game by introducing new enemies, locations, gameplay mechanics, and more.

Debris Co-Op Trailer Released

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (Feb. 5, 2018) — Following the soft launch of its single player campaign in October of 2017, Debris is back and introducing its much-anticipated co-op mode. Lovingly developed over 3 years, the first-person co-op story takes place in a surreal, sunken world locked between chilly ice and unforgiving rock. An unfortunate accident leaves you stranded deep beneath the ice clinging to survival as you battle the elements and your own creeping psychosis. Players must scramble to find power, defeat strange creatures, and decipher what mysterious forces are attempting to prevent their escape. To celebrate the addition of co-op, Moonray has released a brand new trailer highlighting its inclusion.

Designed based on the challenges facing those affected by psychosis and created with the help of medical professionals, Debris explores the interplay between perception and reality in an unconventional, narrative-driven co-op format.

Escape Together or Die Alone

You’re part of a small team sent to film a promotional video for a groundbreaking discovery: meteoric debris embedded deep in Arctic ice that provides clean, hyper-efficient energy. Taking on the roles of either Ryan, the team’s videographer, or Sonya, a promising engineer tasked with leading the project, you’ll embark on a fight for survival in the murky depths of the Arctic Ocean.

Stranded at the bottom after a tragic accident, injured and running out of time, your only hope for survival is to reach the surface. But something else is going on. Things aren’t right, they don’t add up, and you can’t help but speculate. Why is this happening?

Dive into:

  • A mysterious story that leaves you questioning everything. The story of Debris unfolds in the communication between players as they struggle to navigate and unravel why they’re trapped and how they can escape.
  • Multiple endings dramatically impacted by key choices.
  • An unconventional, narrative co-op mode where your partner matters and tensions are high. Three lives are in the balance. One has a light, one has a gun; one sees everything, one hears everything; one is lost, and one is stuck. But everyone thinks they know what’s really going on.
  • Living, breathing characters voiced through conversational dialogue.
  • Everything you can do is tied to power, which counts down continuously. Debris is full of choices, all dependent on the time you have, the time you lose, the time you need and the time you are willing to spend.
  • A unique underwater setting like nothing you’ve ever seen. With 8 axes of movement (including buoyancy), players glide through the arctic labyrinth and quickly discover that their prison is home to strange bioluminescent flora and fauna, prey and predators of light and darkness.

As you fight your way to safety, you’ll need to figure out what’s behind this surreal world and your desperate situation. Knowing will make all the difference.

Debris’ co-op experience will be available on Windows PC and Mac OSX on Feb. 26, 2018 with a 50% discount at launch.
