Dying Light is still pulling in 500,000 weekly players

Techland's parkour-fuelled zombie thriller Dying Light is still pulling in 500,000 players a week, despite launching in January 2015. 

It's a figure that's all the more impressive when you consider the game had around 700,000 weekly players at launch, meaning the studio has managed to keep a huge portion of its community engaged for the best part of three years. 

Techland clearly believes its dedication to dishing out plenty of post-launch content has been key to the game's sustained success, and that's why the developer has promised to serve up another 10 slices of DLC over the next 12 months -- all of which will be free.
