Dying Light 2 is supposedly getting at least five years' worth of updates after launch, and one of the first major ones is now coming next week. Developer Techland has revealed all the juicy details for its April 27th update.
The big standout feature in update 1.3.0 is New Game+, adding "30 new inhibitors" among a bunch of other additions. Chief among which is a new quest exclusive to the mode and an enemy scaling system which will match enemy difficulty to Aiden's player level, alongside new special encounters for those looking for an extra challenge.
The next big change is a field-of-view slider for console players, allowing for more on-screen action at any given time. Sadly, this FOV slider is only coming to Xbox Series X and PS5, so there's no option there for you Xbox Series S players. Well, at launch anyway, as Techland added a 60fps mode for the system shortly after launch.
Elsewhere, your typical selection of bug fixes will be tucked into this upcoming patch, with a particular focus on co-op play in update 1.3.0. One of those co-op fixes relates to more 'death loop' instances being fixed, which will hopefully make online play a little smoother for most.

Interesting they have a FOV slider. I assume it will perform worse with a wider FOV like on PC where increasing the FOV lowers FPS. Or perhaps all the settings will update accordingly with lower resolution via DRS. Or perhaps they have gone the extra mile and adjusted graphical settings for each FOV setting. Look forward to a Digital Foundry or NX gamer break down.
Tagline should’ve been “Wider Zombies, More View”
Lol
😁
I know FOV seems to really be an issue to many players, some even saying that it can make them sick. I can honestly say that I have never played a games and wanted to change the FOV, on PC or console.
So whilst it's nice that they are adding an option for others, chalk this as a down as a I don't care, and I am glad for once that a feature is swerving the XSS as it would no doubt cause performance issues.
I'm enjoying the game. Do find it a pain locate the cases you use to upgrade health, etc. So lot time feel weak in game.
@JetmanUK Totally with you on FOV sliders making people sick. Makes me very nauseated. Even worse is the head bob in games. I not mind the gun moving up and down little bit when running. But that head Bob sh1t got to go!
