We already know Techland is looking to the mod community to help build upon and bolster their well-received zombie survival opus, but the developer has announced the addition of a fan-wanted Hard mode alongside much more.

Several free content updates are expected to drop for the game over the next few months, adding and improving on the base game while a new gameplay trailer also has the first of many new redeem codes for in-game weapons as part of the developer's commitment to its players. (Watch it embedded below.)

"A few gamers have already finished Dying Light and are asking for more," says producer Tymon Smektała via press release. "So we’re going to give our community a new challenge that will put everything they learnt in the game to the test. Hard Mode is exactly that. We’re aiming to have it out around the start of March, if not sooner. Depends on how brutal we wanna make this on people.”

The same press release lists these additions as part of the new Hard Mode:

• Ramped up nighttime difficulty
  
• Deadlier and more vicious foes
  
• Increased need for stealth and silence
  
• Scarce resources and supplies
  
• … and plenty of other additions
