Dying Light Dev Tools updated to support co-op and deathmatch maps

Continuing to support the mod community, Techland released an update to for Dying Light's Dev Tools. Now available on the Steam Workshop, the free udpate allows creators to design cooperation-based scenarios and deathmatch maps.

‘Just like with the main game we’ve been supporting the Dev Tools for almost a year now, and we’ve already seen amazingly creative stuff from our fans," said producer Tymon Smektała.

"We believe the co-op and PvP supportcan inspire a new wave of original maps for everyone to enjoy. At the same time, we’re working hard to bring some the very best custom maps to consoles, and I hope we’ll have something to announce soon."

The update arrived alongiside the PvP-focused custom map "Don't Drown," created by Dying Light community member RabidSquirrel. The map is set in an island and features an ever-rising water level to keep combatants moving. "‘Don’t Drown’ has players explore the island and avoid zombies in search for powerful weapons which they can then use to take on one another," the description reads.

Today's update arrives not long after Techland highlighted another "amazing" player-created map — Harran: The Ride.

And, of course, all of this arrives just ahead of the highly anticipated expansion, Dying Light: The Following, due out on February 9, 2016.
