Dying Light 2 is a platform now, as the Breach update opens up Techland's zombie survival game 'even more to UGC content'

I didn't like Dying Light 2 much when it launched back in 2022. But I can't deny that Techland has really committed to supporting and turning around its controversial sequel. Over the last four years, Techland has reworked the game's parkour system, added Volatiles to Villedor's nights, injected its combat with greater oomph, and added various features like New Game+ and replayable bounties.

While its lofty narrative ambitions were never quite realised, the foundations of Dying Light 2 are now far more robust. Now, the game's latest update aims to let players expand upon those foundations, bringing significant improvements to the game's modding and UGC functionality.
