Bloody Pixel-Based ‘Carnage Kart X’ Launching Into Early Access on December 13 [Trailer]

Techland are once again bringing festive cheer to Dying Light 2 with the return of Winter Tales, coinciding with the release of patch 1.20. On now until January 2nd, Winter Tales: Gifts From Above 2024 sees Dying Light 2 players completing bounties for new cosmetics, weapons and more. Not only that, but players can also grab the Above the Law Bundle completely for free during the event.

Villedor has been hit by frosty weather, and its citizens are ready to celebrate the festive season. Players must complete bounties from Baka or loot containers to gather trinkets, ornaments, and decorations to dress the tree and spread holiday cheer. As a reward for their hard work, players will get presents like the Killer Krampus Outfit and Winter Sweets, which can be spent at Baka’s stall.

Speaking of Baka, the Halloween stand has been exchanged for something more festive, offering up some great and unique items, including the boomerang-style Skoll, Snowballs and more. He has also ordered some new stock with the Killer Krampus items, including The Punisher weapon, used to reprimand those naughty zombies.

What’s more, with each level increase of Baka’s reputation, players will get a letter they can send to Santa using the box located next to the stall to get an airdrop full of presents.
They will have to make sure to participate in the weekly airdrop challenges as the rewards will change, allowing them to earn the entire Killer Krampus Gear Set.

Uncle Snows and his helpers – the Naughty Infected and Virals—are back and hungrier than ever. Watch out for a new festive zombie, the Ice Spitter, who will shoot icy projectiles. While Naughty Infected can be found all over Villedor, the most formidable Uncle Snows will be guarding the airdrops.

Lastly, all players will be able to grab the Above the Law Bundle completely for free. Just like the Killer Krampus, this bundle is all about making sure those not following the rules get punished, so pick it up and keep law and order in The City.

Alongside the release of Winter Tales: Gifts from Above 2024 is Patch 1.20, which streamlines the Prologue so players can get into the action much quicker, making it the perfect time to jump into the game for the first time, or finally return to see what else has changed since your last visit to Villedor. The patch also addresses various issues, including those relating to crashes and co-op play.

Dying Light 2 is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Meanwhile, Techland is currently developing the standalone Dying Light: The Beast, which was announced earlier this year.
