Dying Light Editions and DLC Content

This is my guide for explaining the Dying Light game editions and DLC content.

History

Dying Light was released in January of 2015, along with a Season Pass which would include planned DLCs for the rest of the year. Techland then extended this to 13 months, and included DLC content released in February of 2016, for Season Pass customers. This eventually included these DLCs;

• Cuisine and Cargo - Game Expansion - Two Quarantine Zones
  
• Ultimate Survivor Bundle - Three Outfits, Four Weapon Blueprints
  
• The Bozak Horde - Game Expansion - Single Large Quest
  
• The Following - Large Game Expansion - Full Game Sequel

After the Following was released in early 2016, Techland announced Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition, which rolled up the base Dying Light game with all of this previous DLC content, into a single edition of the game. New customers of the game, who want to buy Dying Light and all of the above DLCs, can do this by purchasing the Enhanced Edition.

Season Pass

There is no official current Season Pass for DL. (That ended when the Following was released in 2016). The DLC item called the Season Pass that can be purchased, adds the bundle of the 4 DLCs, listed above. So the Season Pass should only be purchased by those who only purchased the base game, and want to add the first year's DLC content. Everyone who purchases the Enhanced Edition gets the base game and all content released during the first 13 months of the game's existence. In other words;

Dying Light Base Game + Season Pass = Dying Light Enhanced Edition

Dying Light DLCs

DLC content produced after the release of the Enhanced Edition, is not included for either Dying Light/Season Pass, or Enhanced Edition, customers. (And just in case it isn't obvious, buggy skins can only be used if you have the Following)

These are the paid Dying Light DLCs;

Thanks BM.

Fixed now.

[Blade Master]

Great guide, very well made and informative. 👍

Just one note. At the beginning, if I understand correctly you listed that season pass additionally includes Crash Test Skin Pack, it is said that it actually doesn't by people who have purchased season pass.

Anything besides that, it's very well put. Thank you.

On a side note, I've seen you being quite helpful and very well informative here and there, mainly from Dying Light's Reddit. So according to your past statements and your recent interest in playing legit, I've got some questions to you. I've sent you a friend request on Steam, if you wouldn't mind. You can delete me afterwards, up to you.
