Fans are now able to create their own custom maps in Dying Light 2 Stay Human thanks to a collaboration between game developers Techland and mod platform mod.io.

Revealed yesterday, map creation is available as free DLC for PC users (Steam and Epic Games Store) with console support arriving soon. To celebrate the new update, the Shape Your City contest is live right now. Fans can submit their custom maps for a chance to take home part of a $50,000 prize pool. More information about the contest, which closes on January 20, can be found here. The collaboration will also feature official mod support for the title.

Scott Reismanis, CEO and co-founder of mod.io said this about the new update:

“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.”

Rafał Polito, Technology Producer at Techland also said:

"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?”

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is available on consoles and PC right now.
