But it’s “far from being in a dev hell”, the studio insists.
Dying Light 2 developer Techland has let it out reported the spin-off “too soon”. The confirmation came after the engineer prodded it had “a couple of words to impart to [fans] about the Dying Light 2 advancement measure”, promising more data would follow on Wednesday, seventeenth March.
In a subsequent tweet further down the chain, nonetheless, the authority Dying Light Twitter account reacted to a fan who conceded they were “stunned” and contemplated whether the game was “being developed damnation”. “[As far as I know], the definition of a dev hell requires the game to not make any development progress, while DL2 keeps moving forward,” the response says. “We announced the game too early but it’s far from being in a dev hell.”
Dying Light fans have been worried about the continuation for quite a while, not least on the grounds that Paweł Selinger, who had filled in as “narration designer” on Dying Light 2 throughout the previous two years, left Techland toward the finish of 2020 after more than 22 years at the organization. Dying Light 2 was reported at E3 2018 during the Xbox public interview by pretending game author and fashioner Chris Avellone, who later left the undertaking following claims of sexual assault.
During Microsoft’s E3 2019 question and answer session, Techland reported Dying Light 2 was set for dispatch in the spring of 2020, yet in January 2020 Dying Light 2 was deferred inconclusively. In May 2020, reports arose that the proposed Dying Light 2 was in a sorry state, in spite of the fact that Techland pushed back.
All the more as of late, however, a further blow came when another report shed extra light on the pained undertaking, claiming turbulent, unfocused improvement driven by a tyrannical CEO. The news came only weeks after the engineer had to deny bits of gossip that the Dying Light 2 designer had been taken over by an obscure outsider, demanding it stays a “free studio”.
There is some uplifting news, however; subtleties of an impending Collector’s Edition for Dying Light 2 have apparently been spilled, hinting the game – which at present just games an indistinct “2021” discharge window – may be coming as soon as possible.
