An announcement on Twitter revealed that Dying Light will be receiving new skins and an all-new hard mode. The developer claims that it’s “the first of many additions to come.”

The upgrade will be available for all three platforms (PC, PS4, and Xbox One). No official date has been set, but producer Tymon Smektala told GameSpot that the goal is to release it “around the start of March.”

Dying Light is a survival horror game published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It received a 7 out of 10 here on GameSkinny, and it’s been relatively well-received by critics with some complaints about the game’s story and difficulty level. The developer has fixed some technical problems and hopes to address the difficulty in the first DLC released for the game.

It’s also been popular for having multiple easter eggs, including playing a recreation of World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros, adding Clicker zombies from The Last of Us, and various signs throughout the game like “Left 4 Bread.”
