Techland will release the Dying Light Retouched update on June 26 across all gaming platforms. The company offers this enhancement package at no cost to players who already have the original game. Techland created this update to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the zombie survival game. The studio made clear that these changes represent improvements rather than a complete remake. Game developers spent months working on visual and technical upgrades for the decade-old title.
Franchise director Tymon Smektała explained the team focused on improving the existing game instead of creating something entirely new. Technical director Grzegorz Świstowski said developers applied recent knowledge to older game elements. The update features better textures for floors, walls and other environmental details. Many visual improvements required manual work from artists and programmers. The enhanced graphics will be most noticeable on newer gaming systems.
Audio improvements form another major part of the update package. Original composer Paweł Blaszczak returned to remaster the complete soundtrack for modern systems. The musician also created additional music tracks that blend with the original score. Sound quality will improve across all supported platforms. Players can expect better audio balance and clarity during gameplay.
The update will work on older consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, the visual improvements may look different depending on the gaming platform. Newer systems will display more dramatic enhancements than older hardware. All eligible players can download the update without additional charges.
