If you survived the living dead-strewn streets of Harran and are itching to explore some new terrain in the zombified video game world of Dying Light, then you should be excited by Techland's recent announcement of an expansion pack titled Dying Light: The Following.

The release date for Dying Light: The Following has yet to be revealed, but based on the new screenshot and the brief footage at the end of the "Half a Year with Dying Light" video below, gamers can expect dune buggies, open terrain, and zombies aplenty. Also, season pass holders will get to play Dying Light: The Following for free. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for further updates.

Press Release (via Evil Avatar): July 29th, 2015 – Wroclaw, Poland/ In last week’s "Half a Year with Dying Light" video, Techland teased drivable all-terrain dirt buggies for Dying Light. Today Techland has confirmed that it is indeed working on Dying Light: The Following – a feature-heavy, story-based expansion pack.

“For Dying Light: The Following we’re adding a number of bold game-changers to create one massive expansion. Something big that will give the game a brand-new flavor. The new map alone is the same size as all the previous maps from Dying Light combined, so there is a lot we’re packing in here.

We also kept a close eye on player feedback to help tailor what we’ve created here. Hopefully people will see that this new expansion is first and foremost, for the fans.”
– Tymon Smektala, producer, Dying Light: The Following

Techland announced that Dying Light: The Following will be available for purchase separately but will also be made free to all Season Pass holders. The expansion pack is set to be showcased behind closed doors at Gamescom next month, with a full public reveal following shortly after.
