The first major story DLC will be released this summer. In contrast to the other content, this one is subject to a fee. However, those who opt for the Deluxe Edition of Dying Light 2 will also receive this story DLC for free. The Ultimate Edition also includes the second story DLC, for which there is no release date yet.
