Techland has announced a new update for the PC version of parkour zombie-killing title Dying Light that will restore the previously stamped out user-created mods, a response that was made in light of recent cheating in Be the Zombie mode. The update not only offers modders a chance to change the game's content, but also brings a variety of other fixes to the game.
