No One Has Purchased Dying Light's $386,000 Collector's Edition in 10 Years

Author : Penelope Update:Mar 16,2025

Even before the release of the zombie-action game Dying Light 2, developer Techland unveiled an outrageously expensive collector's edition. Intriguingly, despite the passage of a decade, no one has ever purchased it—a fact that the company is quite happy about.

Techland’s PR manager, Paulina Dziedziak, revealed to Insider Gaming that the exorbitant edition was never intended for sale. It was, in fact, a brilliant PR stunt designed to generate buzz around the game's launch. Its unconventional nature successfully captured media attention, achieving its goal perfectly. The fact that no one bought it is a testament to its success as a purely marketing-driven initiative.

The £250,000 (approximately $386,000 at the time) price tag would have bought the buyer the ultimate Dying Light experience: the My Apocalypse Edition. This included having their likeness incorporated into the game itself, a life-sized statue of the protagonist "Jump," professional parkour lessons, night-vision goggles, an all-expenses-paid trip to Techland's headquarters, four signed copies of the game, a Razer headset, and a custom-built zombie-defense survival shelter created by Tiger Log Cabins.

Techland's strategic use of the My Apocalypse Edition as a marketing tool is clear. The question remains: what if someone had purchased it? Would Techland have fulfilled the promise of constructing and delivering a real-life bunker? This remains an intriguing, unanswered question.
