Dying Light 2 Massive Update on E3 2018 Elyseum 

Absolutely amazing work, we're excited to see the end results

Ah, this is absolutely gorgeous! This is what DL2 should have been. The City feels old, it looks how it should after going through an apocalypse for 15 years. They should be proud of themselves

To be honest, that project looks stunning. Techland should hire him for DLC 2

I had a lot of fun making the lighting in this project.

Techland really needs to start taking notes from their community map creators and modders. This is 100× better than Villedor, it actually looks like it's been 15 years since the fall of civilization and doesn't have the colour palette of a kids cartoon! The Renaissance team should feel incredibly proud of themselves, this is such professional looking work that I wouldn't be surprised if a studio hired them based on this project alone. Absolute madlads!

Damn, this looks better than the map we have 💀 What passion can do, wow! Big props!

It looks SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD! I hope techland acknowledges the Renaissance team and take inspiration from them.

This is always ridiculous when small teams of people doing it for free can do a better job than the compagny that created the game. Whoever sabotaged Dying Light 2 in the first place should really be ashamed.

See, Techland? This is how you make a post-apocalyptic city

It's going to be 6 years since E3 2018 but Now, We have recreated the masterpiece.

Bro, just imagine someone watching this without knowing that this was made by fans, like, this is on a professional level, the guys who made it have talent

I didn't realize the lighting had that much of an effect on the game. I look at it now and realize it's becoming a whole different game. Better, more atmospheric and and I can't even find the words, the game just gets so much better.

This map looks waaaaay better than anything Techland has done in Villedor.

Hi; texture maker for renaissance here, very glad you guys enjoy the map. There's going to be more improvements on textures coming soon, and a big announcement for the project coming soon too ;)

Wow, just wow!! Im amazed how this devs community managed to recreate almost near perfect Elysium map from 2018. That aesthetic alone makes me remind of what Dying Light 2 could have been. I don’t know why Techland ditched their own work and completely created another game😵‍💫 I hope they added fractions and old npcs, quest. Imma definitely playing the shit out of it. Thanks to the devs community❤️

Happy New Year Everyone, Thank you for all the support you guys have given me over the years. I hope 2024 brings joy & success in everyone's life. also i hope you guys Stay Human ;) Don't forget to Join our Dying Light 2 Modding Server: discord.gg/8twHySF2ke

Proud to be part of this team!

I truly hope that Techland adds their Elysium-Map to the Base-Game. Not as a Community Map but as a Full Part of the Game - that way, we could explore it with our Character having the Items etc. and enjoy it more. Techland could also support them somehow too. These Guys deserve it. Thats what Passion looks like.

Now that's a world worth saying "I wish Crane cold've seen this."

that is the real dying light 2 majestic gorgeous beatiful and heartful

this is closer to a true DL2 than DL2

Now THIS is what Dying Light 2 should’ve looked like. One of the many reasons why the Modding Community are GOAT tier in gaming. I actually can’t believe how incredible this looks, I think what really makes it stand out is how good the lighting is and it just shows what a huge downgrade we got in the main game. Big up to the people on the Renaissance team, you guys are doing a great job and have got me hyped to play this game again!

To this day I wonder why Techland abandoned a map like this and instead copy and paster almost every building 100 times

I just keep coming back to this video because i am so excited about this but they can only be just this much content, waiting for more. I hope they give us some 10min gameplay of the new areas. That would be so cool to see.

Ngl i feel like techland should let go of old gen consoles soon because its like a bag of bricks holding them back from doing better updates for dl 2 i know this is off topic but seriously

THIS is what i expected DL2 to look like, not... what the map is right now

this is what I bought DL2 for!

What The game should have been

techland is a shame, look what some people managed to do with just the game's own resources from creation mode, and meanwhile, the developers didn't do even 1% of what they did, really shameful

This is the dying light 2 we deserved

This literally looks better than the actual map in the final release 😭😭

It's so weird seeing all the concept art brought to reality. The fact that small, independent devs have to show Techland what they could've made. Seriously, has Techland no appreciation for its own ideas?

The fact that elysium was the most intresting part of the map and they scrapped it makes my blood boil

Big thanks to the Renaissance team, it looks very wonderful, and this is what the world of Dying Light 2 should look like, not copying and pasting a large part of the game world, such as buildings, stores, and dark pits. Dying Light needs creators, as it is one of the best zombie games.

They have done better than the devs in this level design. Incredible and not reused assets.

What about E3 Definitive mod for DL1 and DL2? Also, good job for Reinassance team!

When modders do better job than Devs

If this goes beyond just recreating Elysium and they rewrite the story and flesh out the choices system this would go down as one of the best fan made mods ever

If dl2 came out like this i think ppl could have overlooked certain aspects that were lacking, amazing !

How is it possible that they can create something so much better than the actual game developer team??? Renaissance team made Techland look lazy af with their copy/paste boring city. Good job Renaissance team! 😎

Techland really needs to know how much they f*ck up their game; this is what DL2 is supposed to be.

I like how the team behind the project put so much effort into details its insane with limited access,makes me wonder what techland is doing with their full access to the tools lol

It looks like content will soon be made by the community due to the incompetence of the developers.

Just goes to show that Techland could've done this themselves but couldn't be bothered

This map will have his own quests and history !? Wow, techland didn't yet announced "full mods support" and modders already created something big

Nah thats actually crazy good wtf

Just imagine if they managed to convince Chris Avalone to write a story, that would be nuts!

My only concern is this releasing SOMETIME soon😂 I just don't like Villedor anymore

Hope devs will see content like this more and hear fans instead of adding neon skins and other junk. Still can't explain why they changed that outstanding architecture to minecraft-style boxes like in release version.

If techland didnt delete this , dying light 2 would be easly game of the year

Holy shit this looks more insane than I thought

This dark/medieval style is way better IMO

techland should just put this in the actual game

This is everything I ever wanted and more!!!!! Btw for whatever reason, Community Maps have not been working for consoles. I don't know if this is also happening for PC players as well, but I hope they fix that.

Techland should honestly just put this map in one of those out bounds areas they scrapped. They probably ran out of time and placed the acid in those out bounds areas.

Thanks for everything Renaissance team tech land have to hire you guys.

This looks incredible! The lighting makes a huge difference and makes it feel more gritty like the first game.

I wonder how Chris Avellone would react to your beautiful work :)

this is real? UNBELIEVABLE! this is the dying light 2 i want for years since 2018 trailer and 2019 gameplay THANKS.

Seriously why isn't techland hiring these guys they did an amazing job remaking the Elysium map, seriously they should offer them a job at techland I'm sure the work for a reasonable price.😊

TECHLAND is so dumb for not hiring them

Damn these people are fucking wild!! Looks soooo damn good, I'll come back to DL2 When this drops

How tf does a mod team create a detailed map better than the developers

That design is ridiculously good. It's mad - I love it

Looks waaay more like a European city now. Base game city is cultureless imo.

This can be a stand alone dlc if techland hire the modders and people who make this map

While techland only brings one e3 content in 3 months. When are we gonna get lightning improvent, shadow improvement, flashlight inertia, better sfx/Audio, better blood system, e3 2018 outfit, better climbing anims, radial blur, etc

Techland, you have a chance to get most of the players back into the game if you put something back into the game itself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wish you great strength in promoting your work, I really want to play the real Dying Light 2 that was originally intended, I hope you will be noticed by techland and they will give you something like a bonus

It looks so good and stunning. Can't wait to play this map.

There is so much potential,but Techland rushed it, what a pity 😢

Thats amazing work!

Funny how a couple of guys can make a whole map almost but techland can't and rely on copy pasting one building over and over

Hi Ali! I have a question for you. Is there any possibility when Techland adds the guns before the map becomes available , will Elyseum questswill have not only melee - but firefight with rifles pistols shotguns etc ? Thank you for reply man. Renesaince team rocks !

Techland should take inspiration from this and make a dlc! Hire these guys!

Why is it the fans job to deliver on empty promises that the developers make to us?

This map looks better than a whole dying light 2! Also i happy to know that i can play it on console.

Sheesh... Despite the weird ass stuff that Techland did to this poor sequel, some people are still trying to save the content. Love it I also hope that this comes as a free update but... It's ok if it includes a cost anyway I guess.

lets post "Hey Techland, I have a request. There's a group called Renaissance dedicated to recreating the 2018 Elysium map, and they require additional features in the beta version of your developer tools to complete their project. They've been putting in a lot of effort for the community, and truthfully, the community could really benefit from this addition." this to every video they upload

I hope it will be possible to return from the DLC to the regular location, otherwise it will be a shame that you will not be able to take new things back to Viledor.

I’m really glad to see this cut content making a return through the community. It would be an honour to play this.

Crazy how non dying light creators have to make it feel like dying light.

This looks amazing! Props to the team. I'm still sad I'll never get to experience the original story in that E3 gameplay video though lol. That trailer left me with permanent blue balls.

seeing it at different angles and the concept art in game.....i don't understand why this section wasn't in the final build?i can't speak on how it plays because well....haven't played it yet, but it just looks so much more visually interesting of a map to explore than old town and maybe even the loop...maybe is the key word, it's a damn shame this map never made it into the final game but it's great that fans decided to bring it here with this passion project

Freaking beautiful. But the fact that they were able to change the lighting proves techland can do it too. Looks so much better like this

It'll be dope to have something to switch off to when I Am Legion tires me out, looks like I won't even need a ReShade to get the lighting right either.

Any info when map will come ?

Of course, I was hoping for a cool elyseum, but these madmen did everything 10 times better than I could have imagined 🍷🗿

It's such a shame techland removed so much good things from game and slap us with a downgraded game that we have now still techland haven't learned It's lesson 😢

Techland should pay them for making such a detailed Elysium

HAPPY NEW YEAR DAWG. APPRECIATE THE DYING LIGHT CONTENT YOU RELEASE ❤🎉

Excellent bestgamerali Super Fantastic Outstanding Fabulous I like it Keep it up

This just shows how good dying light 2 could’ve been if devs had creative freedom 😅 nice one techalnd 😂

YESS!! We've been waiting for soo long, its soo bautiful iam looking towards to play it

I clearly remember watching E3 back in 2018 and suddenly the first preview of Dying Light 2 showed. I didn’t realize it was Dying Light 2 till I heard “good night and good luck”

I would pay for that as an update

this loooks crazy amazing wooooow , these guys are amazing , man i cant wait to jump into this map , hats off to each and everyone behind this project hell ya .also happy new year ali !

I know it might be a stretch, but I think (probably not) that the big announcement (most likely not) is gonna be working with Techland to bring this project into the base game (I doubt that be it). But there are many reasons why I really think this might happen. First - Reasons why Elysium might come back. Second - Reason why the Renaissance Team might work with Techland to add Elysium. Reasons why Elysium might come back: 1. Looking at maps and posters, you see the chemical affected areas but when looking at the Elysium region it's just crossed out. which proves that it's not destroyed by the Black Monday. 2. Elysium has been mentioned quite a lot in the game. There is a tape that talks about how the Renegades lost the Triumphal Arch 03:55 against the Peacekeepers. There is a voice line of Herald where he talks about how the Elysium tunnel has collapsed and how the Peacekeepers are trying unblock it. There are more but I can't mention them all here. 3. In the Exclusive Interview With Tymon Smektala (by OniZombies). Tymon HAS NOT said that Elysium will not be back. He has said, and I quote "Though I'm not saying that nothing that was a part of Elysium will not make a comeback, at some point in a completely different way because it will be fully developed then, so I think that's the best answer I can give you". 4. I believe that Number 3. hints that Elysium can be brought back if really wanted. And as we know Techland listens to the community so the chances are high. Reason why the Renaissance Team might work with Techland to add Elysium: 1. It's not the first time that Techland added community inspired stuff into the game. I mean they did add some stuff from E3 due to community requests, like the Billboard Sliding. 1. As I said Techland listens to it's community and the Renaissance Team is part of this community. I think that it makes sense for them to work together because for Techland it's already (Almost) a finished product that can be added without going against the lore while also being something that can majorly boost the player count. and for the Renaissance Team they have the chance to add their work into the official game instead of a turning it into a MOD (If my theory turns out to be true then most likely they would get some exclusive rewards) I really want to hear your guys opinions on this matter, so if you have something to share then please do so!

Techland should hire these guys and make release this map officially

What I hope will happen : Techland will notice these guys, hires them, and we get an even better version of Renaissance as DLC 3.
