“Winter Tales: Gifts from Above 2024,” Dying Light 2‘s Christmas-themed event for this year, is now live, giving players the opportunity to take part in festive activities and collect special rewards for a limited time. The game’s developer, Techland, previously described the last Winter Tales event for Dying Light 2 as a gift and love letter to its community.
Techland recently released update 1.20 for Dying Light 2, which introduced some improvements to the title’s prologue and addressed several issues. Coinciding with the release of this latest update, the studio also announced the return of the Winter Tales event for its popular open-world zombie survival game.
