Why Dying Light: The Following was not made into a full release

Dying Light: The Following isn’t your normal expansion pack. From the game’s map (which is just as large as the main game) and the way Techland is unveiling it to the masses to the sheer amount of content, it’s fair to say it could have been its own game entirely.

And while The Following is deep enough to be its own stand-alone title, it’s an extension of Dying Light that, more than anything, is a thank you from Techland, to the people that have buzzed through the game and are looking for something new and gruesome. Continuing the story of Kyle Crane, players will unravel more layers of the story, earning the trust of the locals and finding out more secrets behind the outbreak. The inclusion of all terrain dirt buggies makes The Following a markedly different experience from the original.
