Techland announced that Dying Light: Bad Blood, the version of the zombie-fighting game that’s battle royale (dubbed “brutal royale”), will be available in September via Steam Early Access on the PC. After it exits Early Access, it will become free-to-play.

The fast-paced competitive multiplayer title blends player-versus-player (PvP) and player-versus-environment action with a nod to popular battle royale games like Fortnite and Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds — all within the Dying Light world. After the game exits Early Access, it will be available as a stand-alone free-to-play game.
