    Dying Light 2: NewGame+ is here, more additions with update 1.3.0

    Just a few days after announcing that Dying Light 2 had sold more than 5 million copies, the Techland studio is rolling out the 1.3.0 update which will change a lot of things for players, especially those who have already finished the main adventure. Indeed, among the additions that should be remembered, there is the introduction of NewGame+, which does not only consist in redoing the game with all the equipment gleaned during the first run, since the developers have changed a lot of parameters for the experience to be renewed. Basically, we will be entitled to new enemies (30 new inhibitors) which have been distributed differently, additional objects, increased difficulty, but also a new legendary weapon. What encourage us to leave for a second run. Of course, this 1.3.0 update fixes a lot of bugs, especially in the co-op game, but also brings fixes in gameplay, quests and on the technical side too. Here is the full list of fixes:
