The asymmetrical multiplayer mode is quite fetching

A new short but sweet video in the "Dying Highlight" series from Techland, the developer of the upcoming Dying Light zombie game, has appeared, this time focusing on the special pre-order bonus game mode called Be the Zombie.

Dying Light is set to debut later this month and promises to bring forth an impressive open-world zombie experience in which players can go up against a city infested with the undead alone or with the help of three of their friends via the cooperative mode.

However, those who pre-order the new title ahead of its release will get the Be the Zombie game mode that's exclusively available for them.

The new experience, as you can see in the gameplay video below, allows players to take control of a special zombie that can stalk and kill the humans throughout the environment.

This asymmetrical multiplayer offer has sparked some controversy due to it being exclusive to pre-orders but it does look quite impressive and reminiscent of the stellar Versus experience from Valve's own Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 shooters.

Check out the brand new video below and look forward to the debut of Dying Light across the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on January 27, in North America, and January 30, in Europe.
