Dying Light to Host Six Weekends of Special Events During the Summer

Techland has announced a six-week campaign titled 'Summer with Dying Light' for the open world zombie game, featuring numerous in-game events designed to make the game "even more exciting".

The campaign begins tomorrow, July 4th, with Spider-Crane, an in-game event which will provide players with unlimited grappling hook shots and reduced fall damage. Spider-Crane kicks off at 08:00 BST/03:00 EST tomorrow morning and will run until 08:00/03:00 on Monday.

Techland will then host a 'Harran Marathon' event next week, details of which have not yet been announced but will presumably involve lots of running.

Summer with Dying Light isn't connected to Techland's #DrinkforDLC promotion, which rewards players who post pictures of themselves drinking water with free DLC. That promotion was created in response to Bungie's Red Bull partnership for Destiny.

Dying Light was released in January for PC, PS4, and Xbox One and would on to become the fastest-selling new survival-horror IP. You can check out our review here.
