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:
Direct Link
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.
Here's the other trailer:
Direct Link
Here's what's new:
- We’ve added story mode to Hellraid
- Now players can choose between story mode and raid mode upon entering Hellraid
- We’ve introduced a new Hellraid rank: Vanquisher
- We’ve added new sounds and animations
- Level’s contours now appear on the minimap
- We’ve added new weapons—a bow (in story mode) and a two-handed hammer, and a stamina potion
- Players will now encounter a new enemy—a skeleton with a large shield
- Players no longer need to stash and retrieve their equipment upon entering and leaving Hellraid
- Balance and visual changes
- Minor tweaks and bug fixes
You can buy Dying Light on Humble Store and Steam.
edit: Techland just dropped this as well!

Yes I know it's fantasy, but pseudo-16th century shoulders and a pseudo-15th century breastplate might work, but NEVER with a pseudo-13th century helmet. And the short-sleeved chain-mail is also as stupid as it gets.
The "sword" is also a lot of eye-damage.
That helmet with these shoulders and the breast plate... It hurts.

He does kinda look like he picked up his gear at a garage sale, doesn't he?

When I look at Hellraid I can only see Dying Light without all the delightful gobbets and blood and parkour. It just looks so underwhelming ... like an empty piñata: all cardboard, no candy.
Until you play it with some friends and crank the difficulty up
the much unloved expansionI probably spent more time on Hellraid than on the main campaign

Found lying around the dungeon and/or crafted from some scrap metal, probably.
See more from me
