Techland has announced today that the upcoming expansion to Dying Light, The Following, will cost a little more than they announced back in August. Originally to be $14.99, Dying Light: The Following will now be priced at $19.99, according to the content’s “increased scale”.
As for the existing Season Pass, it will go from the present $19.99 to $29.99 on December 8th, giving fans an opportunity to purchase it ahead of the price increase as a result of the DLC’s extra content. Existing owners of the Season Pass needn’t do anything, and will still receive The Following for no additional charge as originally announced.
Techland states Dying Light: The Following is big enough to be a standalone game, but opted to keep it as DLC to prevent a launch delay. Hopefully the content is as big and cool as it sounds. Announcing the price jump over a week in advance is a nice gesture as well for those interested. The full announcement is below.
Dear fans,
Over the past weeks Dying Light: The Following has almost reached its final stage: main quests, side quests, new skills, and driving challenges are ready. We now are moving into the polishing period. Looking at it, it’s clear how big the expansion pack has grown – it could be a stand-alone title, but since it would mean a launch delay, we decided against it.
Due to the increased scale of the project, we needed to revise the pricing that we announced back in August, and so we want to let you know that Dying Light: The Following will be priced at $19,99.
As promised back in August, our expansion will still be free for all Dying Light Season Pass holders. However since the Season Pass will now include this bigger-than-anticipated addition, we needed to adjust the price accordingly.
Starting December 8th 2015, the Season Pass will be sold at $29,99. We didn’t want this to come as a surprise to you, so we’re announcing it in advance. This price change will not affect players who already own the Season Pass.
So if you’re looking forward to Dying Light: The Following, you still have time to get the whole Season Pass package, including the expansion at only $19,99. Just remember to do it before Dec 8th.
We’ve got some cool reveals about what’s in Dying Light: The Following and we’ll be sharing them with you really soon, so stay tuned!
Regards,
— Dying Light Team
