The PC gaming community has a perfect opportunity this weekend to return to one of the most influential titles in the modern survival genre. Techland wants to boost the wait for their next project with a promotion that won’t go unnoticed by those who enjoy action and parkour in infested worlds.

Additionally, this free and temporary access comes with recent updates that enhance the visual and technical experience. It’s a nod to both veterans who want to revisit the city and those who never dared to take the leap at the time.
