The port was first discovered by Polish video game wesbite PPE back in July which revealed that developer Techland is planning to release a Nintendo Switch port of Dying Light this October. A specific release date hasn't been stated, but the port will apparently include Switch-specific features such as motion controls and touch screen support.

This report has now been confirmed by the official Dying Light Twitter account, although no further details about the port or a release date were included in the tweet. However, the tweet has shown some of the physical goodies included in the Platinum Edition, including a map, some stickers, and a nifty little survival guide.
Dying Light: Platinum Edition also includes a tonne of DLC that has been released since the game first launched back in 2015, including The Following DLC which gives players a whole new area to explore and a customizable buggy to drive around. The Platinum Edition also contains The Bozak Horde and Hellraid game modes, as well as a whole bunch of cosmetic items.
For those that don't want to wait until the Nintendo Switch version comes out, Dying Light: Platinum Edition is also available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and is playable on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility.
As for what's next for the Dying Light franchise, we recently got yet another trailer for the highly anticipated Dying Light 2 during at Gamescom this week, focusing on main protagonist Aiden Caldwell's parkour and combat abilities. Dying Light 2 will feature something called the "progressive hit reactions" system which will make zombies react appropriately depending on how many times they're hit in a given time frame.
Dying Light 2 is expected to finally launch later this year on December 7 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Those who purchase the game on older hardware will be able to upgrade to the next-gen version of Dying Light 2 for free once they purchase a PS5 or Xbox Series X.
