Which is to say, Dying Light 2 Stay Human will get its first bout of additional gameplay content as part of the mammoth five year plan the studio revealed in its long term vision for the game. There's also a fan-requested Photo Mode in tow, and all of this is part of free update 1.4.0 which drops today-ish.
The new gameplay content is titled "In the Footsteps of a Nightrunner" and comes with a new progression system alongside new recurring quests, the aforementioned Photo Mode and much more.
NEW CHAPTER -- In the Footsteps of a Nightrunner
Your task is to help Harper, a Nightrunner of old, in his efforts to combat the Special Infected that are endangering the City's people in exchange for access to powerful, never-before-seen equipment.
Chapter Agent — Meet Harper, a former Nightrunner that acts as your link to the new adventure. Find him at the Fish Eye Canteen and assist him in taking down the Special Infected.
New Rank System and Unlockables — Strengthen the bond between you and the agent by carrying out his tasks. With enough reputation points, you can rank up to unlock access to high-end weapons, outfits, and consumables.
Daily and Weekly Bounties — Face the Infected head-on in a series of daily and weekly night activities that will earn you reputation points upon completion.
Two New Currencies — To purchase new items, first collect mutation samples off the Special Infected corpses and acquire unique Harper’s Tokens with each new rank.
New Enemies — Meet the deadly and fierce Mutated Infected, the Volatile Tyrant, and the Volatile Hive.
Chapter Mission — Purchase a special Chapter Mission Ticket from the Chapter Agent and test your mettle against punishing time trials that will test your stealth, parkour, or combat skills to their absolute limit.
New Feature: Photo Mode — Our fantastic community asked for it, so we gladly obliged. The Photo Mode feature is here! Take some photos to commemorate your adventures in the City!
In addition to the above video, you can also watch a new episode of "At the Fish Eye" below, which features lead UX/UI designer Marcin Surosz who talks about the new fan-requested feature and more.
