Dying Light Revives An Old Techland Game As New DLC This Summer
Turns out Dying Light isn’t dead quite yet–and neither is the long delayed Hellraid. Techland is planning one more paid DLC expansion for its parkour-focused zombie survival game, and it’s scheduled to release this summer.
The new DLC, Dying Light: Hellraid, takes place in the dark fantasy universe of Hellraid, a Techland game originally scheduled to release for Xbox 360 , PS3, and PC in 2013 before being delayed for release on Xbox One, PS4, and PC in 2014. In January 2015, Techland officially put development of the game on hold. Though it takes place in a different universe, the DLC will still feature Dying Light’s traditional style of gameplay.
“We wanted to bring a piece of Hellraid to our community, and this is our way of sharing a bit of the dark fantasy world with them,” Techland senior PR manager Ola Sondej wrote in an email to GameSpot. “We currently have no plans to resume development of Hellraid, and the game is still on hold.”
Reno 911 New Season Gets Hilarious First Trailer And Release Date
The much-loved mockumentary series Reno 911 is returning to screens next month, and the first trailer for the new season has been released. The show is an improvised pastiche of law enforcement reality shows and will be available on the new short-form video platform Quibi.
The trailer shows the Reno 911 gang back together after more than a decade away. This includes Robert Ben Garant, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Thomas Lennon, Niecy Nash, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Cedric Yarbrough, Carlos Alazraqui, Ian Roberts, Joe LoTruglio, and Mary Birdsong. The new episodes look like they’ll have the same manic energy and outrageous laughs as the original show, with some contemporary twists. There will be some notable guest stars too, such as Patton Oswalt, Tim Allen, and Ron Perlman. Check the trailer out below.
Reno 911 Season 7 hits Quibi on May 4. As with other shows on the service, new episodes will be released daily, and the sketch-based format of the show means you can watch them in any order. Quibi is notable for having no individual videos of over 10 minutes in length.
Apex Legends Job Listing Points To Next-Gen Release
[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/03/apex-legends-season-4-assimilation-gameplay-trailer”]
EA’s recruitment website currently features a job listing for a senior rendering engineer at Respawn Entertainment. The job description states that “Respawn is looking for Senior Rendering Engineers to push next-gen platforms and the PC to their limits on Apex Legends.” That’s a pretty clear cut indicator that Apex Legends is set to receive an upgrade for next-generation consoles.
The job specification asks for a “shader enthusiast” who enjoys “maintaining or improving visual fidelity”, indicating that Respawn could be looking to improve the graphical quality of Apex Legends for next-gen consoles and PC.

EA nor Respawn have yet to make any official comment on the possibility of Apex Legends on next-generation consoles. Backwards compatibility is supported by both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 so theoretically there should be no problem playing the existing version of Apex Legends on the new platforms, but it does appear that Respawn has bigger plans than simply keeping the game as it is.

Call Of Duty Mobile Update Adds Maps, Modes, And Rewards
Call of Duty Mobile has just started its new season, a western-themed update it’s calling Once Upon a Time in Rust. The season includes new maps, modes, and events alongside a slate of new bug fixes in the latest patch notes.
The new season pass will be available on April 30, but some parts of the update are already live. For one, the fan-favorite map Rust from Modern Warfare 2 has been added as the featured map for this season. Another map, the Saloon map, will come in mid-May and introduce a new 1v1 Duel mode. The new mode will also be available in Killhouse, and Saloon will also be playable in 2v2 Showdown.
The classic Capture the Flag mode will also be added in early May, with a bit of Old West flavor. Rather than capturing a flag, you’ll be trying to claim a big chest full of gold. Kill Confirmed is also due in early May.
