Dying Light - Hellraid gets a big upgrade from Techland with a fresh story

Dying Light - Hellraid, the much unloved expansion to the zombie-slasher that puts you into dungeons fighting skeletons has received a huge upgrade. Maybe now people won't hate it so much?

What was originally going to be its own game that was canned, Techland have mostly moved onto Dying Light 2 development but it seems they still have a team going on the original. This new upgrade for the Hellraid DLC adds in quite a lot by the sounds of it, with more to come that will be revealed and added into Hellraid over time. Check out the trailer below:

The plot, they say, will be gradually revealed so they're doing it in an episodic format. Could be fun, it's always had promise but was clearly released under-baked. Maybe in a few weeks it might finally live up to the promise it had initially.
