The current version of Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition differs significantly from what the developers originally planned. However, old promotional materials and traces in game files remain, so enthusiasts are now attempting to restore what was lost.
This project is called Dying Light 2 Renaissance, and modders recently reminded everyone about it. They published a new gameplay teaser online and addressed players:
After months of work, we are finally ready to show you what we have been working on as part of "Project Renaissance". We deliberately hid many of the most interesting moments not only to avoid spoilers, but also to preserve the joy of the surprises you will experience when you can finally try out the map for yourself. This gameplay teaser is just the beginning. We still have more to show, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
Project Renaissance aims to recreate the version of Dying Light 2 that the developers showcased at E3 2018. This is not just "map editing"; modders are creating the project as a "full-fledged level in DLC format," inspired by early concepts and presentations.
Dying Light 2 Renaissance does not yet have a specific release date, but work on the project continues.
