Early Game Experience Improvements
In patch 1.28, we're excited to unveil enhancements to the early game experience in Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We've refined the prologue to be shorter and more engaging, letting players dive into the core of the game quicker. We improved the lighting in prologue cutscenes, removed yellow markers, and adjusted color grading. To help new players acclimate, the encounter difficulty in the Old Town's Houndfield has been adjusted for a smoother transition, along with a reduced number of Volatiles in the early stages. In Region 1, Volatiles now have slower detection and attacks, offering a fairer challenge. Additionally, looting has been spiced up with the chance for random rare drops from infected, adding an element of unpredictability to your scavenging. These updates are designed to create a captivating and balanced early game journey.
Global UI Enhancements
We're excited to announce comprehensive UI improvements across the game, enhancing both navigation and functionality! The in-game store now features tabs, streamlining your shopping experience by decluttering and organizing it. Alongside this, our newly introduced discount management system brings clarity with real-time sales indicators and countdowns. These updates are part of a broader UI refresh, including visual changes like updated input buttons and top-page tabs, ensuring a consistent and fluid interface throughout the entire game, from the store to the player menu. Enjoy the enhanced experience!
