BGA Game Studios reveals gameplay teaser for Dying Light 2 mod

BGA Game Studios has released the first gameplay teaser for Project Renaissance, an ambitious community-led mod for Dying Light 2. The project aims to reconstruct the original E3 2018 vision of the game, which featured a darker tone and content that was ultimately cut from the final 2022 release.

A primary focus of the mod is the restoration of the Elysium district. Originally showcased in promotional materials as a fashionable urban area with Parisian-style architecture designed for parkour, the district was removed from the retail version of the game. The developers are utilizing leaked documentation and early concept materials to rebuild this environment, including its intended lore and quest structures.

The released footage was recorded directly within the developer editor and represents an early build. Consequently, the teaser shows technical imperfections such as unstable lighting and flickering shadows. The development team has noted that these visual issues will be addressed before the project's release.
