This announcement has excited fans of the game, especially those who own a PlayStation 5 console. Dying Light is known for its intense and thrilling gameplay experience, particularly when played in co-op mode. The game's fast-paced parkour mechanics combined with its immersive world make it a standout title in the survival horror genre.


The release of a next-gen patch means that players can expect improved graphics and performance on their PlayStation 5 consoles. While specific details about the enhancements included in the patch have not been provided, it is safe to assume that players can look forward to better visuals, faster load times, and possibly even support for features like ray tracing and haptic feedback. These enhancements will undoubtedly make the already exciting gameplay of Dying Light even more immersive and captivating.


For those who already own Dying Light on PlayStation 4, the next-gen patch offers a compelling reason to revisit the game on their PlayStation 5 consoles. The improved visuals and performance will undoubtedly breathe new life into the game, allowing players to rediscover the post-apocalyptic world of Harran in all its glory.


As mentioned in the tweet, the next-gen patch is currently available for PlayStation players, with the promise of an upcoming release for Xbox players as well. This means that regardless of the platform you own, you can look forward to experiencing Dying Light with enhanced visuals and gameplay.

Final Fantasy 35th Anniversary

In other gaming news, this year marks the 35th anniversary of the beloved Final Fantasy series. Square Enix, the publisher behind the franchise, has set up a dedicated website to celebrate this milestone. The website serves as a hub for Final Fantasy fans, providing updates and information regarding upcoming titles, as well as merchandise related to the series.


Yoshinori Kitase, the producer behind Final Fantasy VII Remake, shared a special message on the website to commemorate the anniversary. He expressed his commitment to creating memorable Final Fantasy experiences, stating, "We will continue to work hard, making each Final Fantasy game one that you will remember for a long time to come." This message reassures fans that Square Enix is dedicated to delivering quality games and unforgettable adventures in the years to come.


The Final Fantasy 35th website is not just a forum for celebrating the past but also a platform to look towards the future. Fans can expect exciting announcements and reveals, as the website will showcase new releases and upcoming titles in the Final Fantasy series. This is undoubtedly an exciting time for fans of the long-running franchise, as they can anticipate fresh adventures and possibly even surprises from Square Enix.

Tune in at 2 PM PT (which is 10 PM UK time) for about 20 minutes of PS4 and PS5 first looks and updates with a special focus on games coming from our Japan publishers."


With the State of Play event fast approaching, speculation and anticipation are running high among the gaming community.
