The zombie survival game Dying Light (PC, Xbox One, PS4) will soon receive a PvP battle royale mode. The standalone expansion “Bad Blood” is set to release in 2018, with sign-ups for the PC beta already open.
An unwritten law seems to dictate that a zombie survival game must eventually get a standalone battle royale expansion. Thus, zombie games like H1Z1 and Fortnite now feature extremely successful battle royale modes, all running independently from the original and often being more successful and popular than the PvE carnage.
Soon, the creepy and still successful survival game Dying Light from 2015 is set to follow suit and also get a standalone battle royale expansion.
Battle Royale game mode is not just another PUBG or H1Z1!
According to the developer Techland, many fans have wished for a battle royale mode for Dying Light. The genre is apparently popular among survival horror fans. Therefore, they intend to release a standalone PvP mode called Bad Blood in 2018.
However, Bad Blood is not just going to be another H1Z1: King of the Kill, PUBG, or Fortnite: Battle Royale. Instead of 100 or more players slaughtering each other, only 6 players will fight for survival in Bad Blood. It works as follows:
- All players are dropped in a region overrun by zombies
- The goal is to escape before nightfall. But there are only a limited number of seats in the escape helicopter.
- To secure a seat on the helicopter, you must collect blood samples from zombies. However, you can also steal them from other players or team up with them for more yield.
- The more blood samples are collected in total, the more seats the helicopter has available.
- Along the way, you must, as usual in Dying Light, find resources and craft weapons.
The battle royale addon Bad Blood is set to release in 2018. If you want to test it earlier, you can already sign up for the beta of Bad Blood on PC via the Techland page linked here!
