Dying Light’s physical release date confirmed as February 27 in EU

Physical copies of Dying Light will arrive in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East on February 27, 2015, Techland has confirmed.  The revised release date follows news of the retail version’s delay this weekend. The North and South American release has not been affected, with physical copies still due to arrive next Tuesday, January 27.  The digital release, however, has also seen a slight setback in Europe on PS4 and Xbox One, being pushed back to January 28.

As an “appreciation of your continued support”, Techland will also be releasing online multiplayer mode Be The Zombie for free to all players in all territories.  The DLC was previously announced as a retailer exclusive pre-order bonus.

“Dear gamers, as you already know, today we detailed our launch timing for Dying Light,” Techland said in a statement provided to VideoGamer.com. “Although the changes affect only the release of boxed copies in certain territories, we want to show all of you our appreciation for your continued support. Thus, we’re really happy to announce that ‘Be the Zombie’ will be available for free to everyone, on all platforms, in all territories.

“We’ll also be giving away extra weapon dockets to everyone who pre-ordered Dying Light and signed up at Dockets.DyingLightGame.com.

“We want to thank you for your patience and support in this matter and can’t wait for you to enjoy playing Dying Light and invading other players’ game in the ‘Be the Zombie’ mode.”
