Voting Is Now Open On Second Dying Light Mod Contest
Techland held a mod contest for Dying Light a few months ago, and the developer is back for another round. Five modders' creations are up for a big prize package, and you can vote now on your favorite one.
The top prize includes an Alienware Alpha machine and a load of Dying Light swag. There are five potential award winners, featuring creations that drew inspirations from movies Shaun of the Dead and Konami's P.T. demo. Console players may feel pangs of envy, but there's hope.
”The Dying Light fans seriously continue to surprise us with their creativity, and it was the exact same thing with these mods. Some of these are so unique and fun that we found ourselves even playing them in our spare time.” said producer Tymon Smektala. “That led us to start talking about trying to make these available for our console fans. We’re looking into it, but we’ll have to see.”
Here are the descriptions for each of the five nominees, straight from Techland:
- The Winchester Tavern – a near perfect replica of the famous pub from the cult-hit movie Shaun of the Dead. Grab a pint and defend your local watering hole.
- SkyFall – an intricate and twisted journey through a man’s troubled dreams. Various levels and puzzles that get more and more warped the further you delve.
- Escaping Death – a classic action-packed Dying Light experience full of combat and parkour.
- Repetition: Horror House – recreating the tension of the infamous P.T. house but with a Harran-flavoured twist.
- Little Big World – "Honey, I shrunk the outbreak." Battle and parkour your way through an infested house, all while being the size of a bottle cap.
Voting closes Sept. 13, so be sure to check out each of the mods and make your preference known here.

Techland is doing important work here, highlighting the best that its modding community has to offer. These are all solid picks, and they're great examples of what's possible when fandom and technical know-how meet.
