The studio revealed the latest crossover titled "Undead or Alive" which is coming to Dying Light 2 on May 31 and will run until June 7. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger was released in 2013 and is celebrating its tenth anniversary. The upcoming event will add Call of Juarez-themed items and enemies to the open world of Dying Light 2.

Fans of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger can also acquire exclusive items including Ray McCall’s charm, Dynamite, and machete-like Bowie Knife (both weapon and blueprint).
