Dying Light Receives Major Visual Improvements With Retouched Update On June 26

Dying Light is the gift that keeps on giving, as despite being over a decade old at this point, Techland has announced that it is giving the parkour-fuelled horror title a visual makeover with its Retouched Update on June 26.

Techland celebrated the 10th anniversary of Dying Light back in January, and this Retouched Update is not a complete overhaul or remaster, but is more about “squeezing out even more from the Dying Light you already love.” Grzegorz Świstowski, Technical Game Director, had the following to say:

One of the best things about working with your own engine is that the people building it are just next door. Over the past couple of years, we’ve added a lot, customized a lot, and learned how to squeeze more from the tech we already have. One day, someone just started applying those learnings to some old assets – and it just clicked that we could do that across the whole game.

We’ve increased the maximum LOD (level of detail) range from 260% to 340% in the view distance menu in the game options. This means players who are running on modern and better systems can increase the distance of highly detailed assets being loaded into the game and balance increased GPU/CPU load on their own.

Dying Light Retouched will be free for all owners of the game across PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One tomorrow.
