“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 user generated content (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.”
— Scott Reismanis, CEO and Co-Founder of mod.io.
The release of developer tools on PC is just the beginning of the joint efforts between Techland and mod.io. The teams aim to create official mod support for Dying Light 2 Stay Human, available in-game on all platforms for all players.
“We know you liked Developer Tools in Dying Light and we are excited to partner with mod.io to announce Dying Light 2 Stay Human now includes this incredible feature as well. Our players now have even more content and possibilities to create maps and user-generated stories on them. It’s time to step up and show off your skills! So… what are you waiting for?”
— Rafał Polito, Technology Producer at Techland
