If you're into 3D printing or painting stuff, collecting miniatures and other gaming paraphernalia, and are also into zombies, then you're going to love this.

Techland has decided to release a special gift to its fans, just two weeks away from the launch of Dying Light, in the form of an official 3D printable figurine.

The figurine depicts one of the many zombies shambling around the quarantined city of Harran in the wake of a viral outbreak, and now, apart from sowing chaos and death, it can also embellish one of your shelves.

You can download the file from Dropbox, and you can watch the video below, talking about the decision and offering you some helpful tips when it comes to personalizing your statue.

The video features one of the game's talented concept artists working on the piece, painting exposed guts, and plague boils on it and making it look as creepy as possible.

The game has a lot of potential

Dying Light offers a new take on the popular zombie apocalypse survival scenario. All the action is seen in first person, there is a lot of parkour involved in navigating the city, and the adventure also involves a ton of satisfying melee combat against the zombie hordes.

The open-world game also has a narrative to follow between bouts of free-roaming, promising a challenging and engaging storyline.

In addition to this neat gift, you can also get an exclusive DLC game mode, Be The Zombie, as well as two special weapon crates, by pre-ordering the game.

Furthermore, the developer has also launched the official website of the fictional city of Harran, containing various pieces from both before and after the outbreak, meant to offer games some context and more information on the city.

Gamers can freely explore what happened during the outbreak and how it changed the city's life, and follow the accounts of the few remaining survivors.

Dying Light is coming out on January 27 in North America and January 30 in Europe, headed to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
