News about Dying Light 2 has been spotty over the past year or so, with most updates having to do with high-profile staffing departures - the studio cut ties with writer Chris Avellone following allegations of harassment, and narrative lead Pawel Selinger left the company in January. Now Techland, which has pushed back against rumours that its zombie game was in "development hell," says it has news to share about Dying Light 2... next week.
"We've got a few words to share with you about the Dying Light 2 development process," Techland tweeted cryptically March 12. "Be sure to be with us next Wednesday." The tweet also included a link to the Dying Light Discord server, promising a first look at the announcement there.
After such a turbulent year across the games industry, this is the kind of announcement-of-an-announcement that could cause alarm among fans. With little word from the studio to go on and rumours of a stalled-out development, some players might reasonably fear that the studio is gearing up to announce the game's cancellation.
