Dying Light 2 Has an Obvious Avenue for DLC
After a long wait, Dying Light 2 has finally seen the light of day and been released into the world. Players take on the role of Aiden Caldwell in a new city, decades after the event of the first game. It’s interesting to see how the whole world has changed, but for some, it may feel like something is missing.
Specifically, Dying Light 2—despite being a numbered sequel—feels incredibly detached from the first game. The events being detached is one thing, but on the other hand, there’s no real appearance of Kyle Crane, the first game’s protagonist. The Following’s canon ending shows Crane, as a now-sentient Volatile, escape into the world.

His role as a sentient zombie is important, after all, and luckily, it would make sense if Dying Light 2 explored more of his story in one of its DLCs.

Crane doesn’t have to be playable, but a story that reveals what happened since then, how he’s getting along as a zombie, and what’s currently going on with him would be interesting. Whether as an ally or an enemy, it would be fun to see Crane and Aiden come face-to-face somehow.
The best part? This feels more likely than many games, even
