There are video games that toe the line between child and adult entertainment and then there are titles that are just downright graphic and bloody. Dying Light 2: Stay Human belongs in the latter category, without question.
The game is so filled with fun and deadly violence that a new free in-game event has been released that somehow manages to even up the ante. If the title "Bloody Summer" doesn't give it away, there's not much else that can.
Outside of obvious perks such as earning more powerful weapons, there are a lot of fun effects added as well. There is a much higher chance to chop off limbs, slice your enemies clean in half, or even pulverize them - not to mention ragdoll effects and hit animations being upped with Hypermode active.
Check out the full official press release below.
