Brawn, brains, persistent blood stains.



<span class="bold">Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition</span>, the definitive package for the open-world, free-running zombie survival sensation, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com with GOG Galaxy support for multiplayer, achievements and leaderboards, and a 17% launch discount.


As the light is dying, so are your chances of survival. A mysterious outbreak has turned a city's population into running, flesh-eating killers who grow severely more aggressive at night. You are also turned into a runner when your mission to retrieve some sensitive documents from the hopelessly infested city of Harran goes awry. Some people speak of a cure, some worship an aloof, self-proclaimed savior, and others fight each other for supplies or territory control. But all of them have one thing in common: they are constantly on the run.

Master the flow of your swift parkour moves and your weapon-wielding skills in order to stay alive. During the day the infected are less energetic, relying on their numbers to gang-up on you before you can scale the nearby building, overrun them with a buggy, or club them to death with your makeshift destructible weapons. But when darkness falls, the tables are turned: your enemies grow stronger, bolder, and terrifyingly more agile while unspeakable horrors crawl out of their daytime hibernation. Don't get followed or you may not live to see daybreak ever again.



Outmaneuver the flesh-eating hordes and escape your nocturnal pursuers before the <span class="bold">Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition</span> wanes completely, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 17% launch discount will last until March 23, 1:59 PM GMT.

The game is not available for purchase in Germany. There are legal restrictions that are beyond our control, and we're very sorry for the inconvenience.


Twitch alert

Want to see people desperately running away from the infected hordes? Tune in on Twitch.tv/GOGcom and watch Memoriesin8bit and Outstar's co-op stream this Wednesday, March 16, at 9 PM GMT / 4 PM EST / 22:00 CET / 1 PM PST.

This is getting like Amazon where I have to sift through multiple forum posts to get info on If that game is playable in multiplayer without Steam, er, pardon, Galaxy.
So, is it (LAN / Direct IP)? Or is it not?

Niggles: Just realised. Physical copy is $69.95 AUD @ Ebgames (rrp). GOG charges $71.09 AUD (and that's with 17% launch discount)... what the....
Probably because the physical version has BS DRM and the GoG does not hence it costs more. :(

BKGaming: Not that I believe this to be DRM or anything...

XyleDaylight: Whether you believe it to be or not doesn't change the fact that it is. It is now mandatory to install an 'optional' client that requires an active account login to access parts of the game. Terraria didn't have this and I can play with steam users who are on Windows, all the way across on my DRM free version on Linux. If you personally find it ok (which is fine) then by all means just play all those 'DRM free' games on steam.

Gersen: And how exactly does it change anything compared as before ?

Before : You had the game DRM-free for the single player part. For the multiplayer it depended of the game and whenever or not it had a LAN option.

Today if you don't use Galaxy; You have the game DRM-free for the single player part. For the multiplayer it depends of the game and whenever or not it has a LAN option.

The only difference is that, for certain games, if it support Galaxy you might have an extra option to play multiplayer using it. If you don't care about Galaxy nothing have changed.

XyleDaylight: Nice mental gymnastics to justify shady business practices and a huge middle finger to long-standing customers.

Your arguement is pretty much this.

"Hey guys it's not DRM because you don't get to play the multiplayer and you never did!"

I'm well aware of some older titles on gog having keys or no linux support (even when there is support elsewhere). I figured it was an oversight or something too old and out of their hands to be able to fix at this point so it was a 'list or not list' situation for them which is understandable.

But Dying Light is a modern, popular title with fresh business deal from the looks of the frontpage... and the Galaxy client is a very deliberate implementation of DRM by GOG and the publishers of Dying Light that could have been decided against as being contrary to the ideology that DRM is never necessary... and although it may be difficult to resolve in the past, should never appear for future endeavors for GOG. That was a GOG standard I put my trust in and the only reason I felt building up a library of great titles was worth my time and money here.

More than anything I hope for a change. Never buying from here again until I see a circus-clown-tier backpedaling on this whole affair. But I won't hold my breath especially given the denial or apologist attitude of what seems to be the modern GOG consumers.

Navagon: Oh noes! Online multiplayer requires internet! Clearly this is some kind of conspiracy! Why can't we use telepathy like in the old days?

XyleDaylight: Online Multiplayer =/= DRM Client. Again, Terraria.
I don't understand.
I can buy Dying Light and play it single player without ever connecting to the internet ever again can't I ? Has something changed ??????????/ No way I want to use Galaxy, I'm strictly manual download.......has this changed ????????????????????????

Cheers mobutu, so I'm safe with single player it seems. I hate any game online/multiplayer, strictly SP offline DRM free for me.
SP is still the "full game" yes ? ie if it's open world I can just choose to do/go where I want yes ?

Is there a place I can get a DRM free demo of this ? I can only find BS Steam demos. Surely there is a demo I can try ?

mobutu: Thanks for letting us know ... no point in buying a coop/multiplayer game if I only want the single player experience.
So that means I should buy this title and stay away from the future release of the Dead Island series?
Your mileage may vary, but I played the original Dead Island on PS3 a while back, exclusively in offline single-player, and it never felt like I was playing an incomplete experience. Sure, if you can play together with friends that's ( usually ) more fun, but I think it works fine as a single-player game. ( And the same is also true for the Souls series. )

I actually enjoyed it MORE alone. Friends are fun, but they kinda ruined the pacing for me - and I don't think all that much can be done about that

That's a good point. I know many gamers these days are all about multi-player, but in an atmospheric and/or story heavy game I think it's probably best to do the first playthrough on your own, at your own pace. Multi-player gaming can be fun, but it also tends to be very hectic and competitive, so you're probably going to miss out on a lot of content and details as you rush through the game world.

Yeah, this is my thing :D Wishlisted .

I'd like to thank Techland and GOG for bringing this game DRM-free.
We played it 3 hours live on stream yesterday and we had a great time (VOD here if you want to check it out: https://www.twitch.tv/gogcom/v/54834834).
I hope this game will sell well and motivate other developers and publishers to free their games as well. :)

Yep,i think friends in dead island are good if you want to mess around a little bit,i played it alone the first time and the atmosphere was great,especially when i returned to the hotel region after the intro,don't know why but that really conveyed the feeling of being alone on a zombie infested island except other survivors referring to my character in the plural and of course the other protagonists appearing in the cutscenes,that was a little immersion breaking

Im pretty pissed off about this one... i didnt think they would come here... blew my cash since i waited for ever to play it on a super sale at steam when i would have happily spent full price here..

you seriously need to advertise who is coming more.... this sucks :(
