Techland announce price change for upcoming Dying Light expansion
Straight off the back of that lovely Kotaku piece yesterday about Dying Light developers, Techland, memorialising a young fan in their open world zombie game, they have today released a fan letter explaining the need for a slight price increase to the upcoming expansion The Following to $19.99/€19.99/£15.99. The Season Pass will also receive an increase in price from $19.99 to $29.99/€29.99/£23.99.
Techland explains that this is due to the sheer size of the new expansion which they explain is big enough to be a stand alone title. The price increase becomes effective from 8 December so until that point you can still obtain the season pass at the lower price.
The full announcement is copied below:
Dear fans,
Over the past weeks Dying Light: The Following has almost reached its final stage: main quests, side quests, new skills, and driving challenges are ready. We now are moving into the polishing period. Looking at it, it’s clear how big the expansion pack has grown – it could be a stand-alone title, but since it would mean a launch delay, we decided against it.
Due to the increased scale of the project, we needed to revise the pricing that we announced back in August, and so we want to let you know that Dying Light: The Following will be priced at $19,99.
As promised back in August, our expansion will still be free for all Dying Light Season Pass holders. However since the Season Pass will now include this bigger-than-anticipated addition, we needed to adjust the price accordingly.
Starting December 8th 2015, the Season Pass will be sold at $29,99. We didn’t want this to come as a surprise to you, so we’re announcing it in advance. This price change will not affect players who already own the Season Pass.
So if you’re looking forward to Dying Light: The Following, you still have time to get the whole Season Pass package, including the expansion at only $19,99. Just remember to do it before Dec 8th.
We’ve got some cool reveals about what’s in Dying Light: The Following and we’ll be sharing them with you really soon, so stay tuned!
Regards,
— Dying Light Team
