Bad Blood is an upcoming expansion to zombie masher Dying Light that's inspired by Battle Royale games—six players are dumped in a city arena and asked to fight through zombies to reach an extraction chopper, all the while keeping their eyes peeled for other humans. Developer Techland unveiled it last year following "numerous fans requests", and now it's shown off ten minutes of the game in action.

You'll see a fair amount of jank in the gameplay footage above, especially in the PvP melee fights, but that's to be expected given that it's still in the pre-alpha stage. It gives you a good idea of what to expect from a round of Bad Blood: you begin by looting buildings, gathering bows, grenades and pipes to bash zombies with. Then, you seek out 'hives' of zombies, which you have to destroy to earn 'samples'. You can only escape on the extraction chopper if you've hit a certain level of samples, which gives you an incentive to wade in.
