"Horror became a huge part of Dying Light’s DNA so we’ll keep it as a part of the experience moving forward," Smektała told TheGamer.

"Our next update, planned for early summer, is focused exactly on this - we’re ramping up our night experience, making it even scarier. We hope to create a tense experience that will make our players 'shit their pants'.

"We plan to pull all the stops - gameplay mechanics, visual tricks, audio scares. Get ready!"
