Dying Light Team Announces AAA Open-World Fantasy With Former CDPR Devs

screenrant.com:

Techland, the developer of Dying Light and Dying Light 2, has announced the development of a brand-new open-world fantasy role-playing game alongside former CD Projekt Red developers. Since 1991 the Polish game studio has developed several popular franchises, including Call of Juarez, Dead Island and Dying Light. While Techland has announced 5 years of Dying Light 2 support, the developer also has an exciting new title in the works.

Released back in February, Dying Light 2 combines intense parkour, zombie survival and melee combat to create a truly unique experience. Following the first game, the recently-released sequel takes players to the walled city of Villedor following an undead apocalypse. Cast as Aiden Caldwell, a traveler searching for his sister Mia, the player must traverse the city and battle the undead hordes on a quest survive and thrive. Dying Light 2 focuses on close-quarters combat over first-person shooter mechanics, with players using improvised weapons to fend off their flesh-eating foes. Post-launch support, like the recent 1.2 update for Dying Light 2, is planned to continue improving and exposing the experience into 2027.
