“Over 700 custom maps were created for the first Dying Light game. Working with Techland to bring the next iteration of custom maps for Dying Light 2 Stay Human to PC and console, we aim to unlock a wider audience for UGC than ever before. UGC is too good for players to miss, making official mod support accessible to all is an ambition we’re excited to share with Techland, and their creator community.”

The release of developer tools on PC is just the beginning of our joint efforts. The main goal is to create official mod support for Dying Light 2 Stay Human. This includes mods available in-game for all players, and on all platforms.

"We know that you liked Developer Tools in Dying Light, and we are excited alongside our partners at mod.io to announce that Dying Light 2 Stay Human now includes this incredible feature. Our players now have even more content and possibilities to create maps and create user-generated stories on them. It’s time to step up and show off your skills! So… what are you waiting for?”

Best Game You Suck At: Dying Light 2 Stay Human

Exploring the City at night among a large group of the Infected is not an easy task. Running out of stamina, lack of medkits, Volatiles roaring just behind you - that is the stuff of nightmares that can give you goosebumps. To be able to survive in Villedor, you need to know the mechanics of efficiently moving around the city full of obstacles and opponents. Parkour has always been one of the focal points in the DNA of the Dying Light franchise. You must master this style of running around the city. Otherwise, you simply won’t survive.

Villedor and its traps have defeated many survivors. Techland has specifically designed the City to be a challenge for players, whether it's related to parkour activities or defeating opponents. Dying Light 2 Stay Human is not an easy game, but once you master the mechanics of moving and fighting - you might be able to survive and learn more about the story we want to show you.

Just remember to never look back while running away… that’s how they get you.
