Days Gone has received a new free update today that adds Survival Difficulty Mode and paves the way for Weekly Challenges, including combat, bike and horde challenges that will award players special rewards upon completion.
Via the PlayStation Blog, Bend Studio game director Jeff Ross detailed this brand new update that was first announced earlier this year.
The Survival Difficulty Mode is now available and is only the beginning of the planned updates for Days Gone. This new difficulty mode builds on top of the current hard mode and features tougher enemies that can’t be bypassed by Fast Travel and an immersive HUD option that “increases tension by removing enemy awareness indicator and outlines.”
