Techland has announced that Dying Light and Left 4 Dead will be crossing over in a new collaboration, as revealed in a tweet from the game’s official account (via DualShockers).

Right now, it’s all to play for, and we’ll update this as soon as we know more. Dying Light is out on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
