The team behind Dying Light 2 is taking a little extra time for its first big DLC. Developer Techland announced today that the first major story DLC for Dying Light 2 has been pushed from early summer into September.
In a statement, Techland said that it’s been working on adding some much-requested features over the last few months, as well as a new in-game Chapter. The story DLC, however, needs a little extra time in development.
The studio does note that in June, that first Chapter titled “In the Footsteps of a Nightrunner” will arrive, alongside a photo mode. You can check out the updated roadmap for Dying Light 2 below, via the Dying Light Twitter:

It’s a bit of a bummer to see a delay if you were holding out for this
