- Dying light The Techland developer apparently canceled two titles
- We do not know which games are affected
- The studio confirmed that no work has been cut
Dying light The Techland developer would have canceled two projects to come.
The Polish studio, which is a subsidiary of the Chinese technology giant Tencent, has posted record losses of $ 37.3 million / 27.4 million pounds sterling in 2024 according to the Polish company PULS Biznesu. This follows losses of 25 million dollars / 18.3 million pounds sterling in 2023.
The losses are assigned to “decisions to interrupt additional work on two projects”, although it is not difficult to know exactly what it means. We know that Techland worked on an RPG of fantastic action in open world with an old The Witcher 3 The developers, leading to speculation that the project may have been preserved.
In a press release provided to Gameradar concerning the news, a Techland representative said that “game development is never a straight line, and sometimes new approaches are necessary to make big games”.
Interestingly, the cancellations reported seem to have led to any layoff. “What is important here is that none of the reported changes led to a reduction in staff,” said the press release. “The developers have been moved to other projects and work on a number of games in our pipeline.”
Right now, the studio is preparing for the launch of Dying light: the beast. The next entry into the cheerfulness of zombies series, The beast sees the return of the original Dying light The protagonist Kyle Crane as a super-alive mutant.
It should be released on August 22 for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One.
