Techland has just announced that it is working on extensive and free modding tools for Dying Light. According to a press release we received from the studio, Dying Light is described as a perfect material for modding, which is why Techland currently working on free and extensive modding tools for the game.

As the press release reads:

“Modders were a massive part of our gaming community since Call of Juarez 2 and Dead Island – and we wish to continue that with Dying Light. This invitation is only the first stage of our cooperation with the gaming community. After the modding tools are released, we plan to actively support the coolest mods created by players.”

We don’t know whether this move is a result of the recent DMCA issues that affected a number of modders, however we are grateful that Techland is so open to mods.

The press release concludes:

“We want to give creative freedom to the players to help keep Dying Light fresh and interesting even many years after their release. We want to thank players for the support they have shown us and are looking forward to their ideas where Dying Light can go from here.”
