Dying Light 2's upcoming DLC packs will "positively surprise people".
That's according to Dying Light 2's lead designer Tymon Smektała, who also confirmed in an interview with wccftech that although the DLC is story-driven, players do not have to have completed the main campaign to enjoy the first DLC offering as it "runs parallel to the main story".
"Its story is centered around a specific place outside of the Villedor city limits. But of course, there will be some choices to make!" Smektała explained.
"It can be started right after Aiden arrives in The City. Since it’s the first one out the gate, we didn’t want to force players to finish the game before they’d be able to have fun with it.
"I went through some of the speculations our community has expressed online, but I haven’t seen any of those theories get it right. So I hope that we’ll positively surprise people with this DLC."
Smektała also confirmed that some of the content updates Techland will "introduce this year and next year will be centered mostly on various types of online experiences", adding that the team feels "there's a lot we could do with Dying Light multiplayer, from adding more co-op mechanics to lots of different, fun gameplay modes", too.
