Techland's now working on an "unannounced AAA Open World Action-RPG"
Techland has confirmed that they are now hiring new staff to start work on a "unannounced AAA Open World Action-RPG", a game that will take place in a fantasy setting and should be a current-generation exclusive.
The studio has confirmed that their plans for Dying Light 2 have not been changed, and that the studio plans to support the game for the next five years with free updates, DLC, and expansion content.
When announcing their next-generation fantasy RPG, Techland confirmed that they have hired developers from CD Projekt Red who previously worked on The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. Their fantasy RPG will be a new IP, and Techland appears to be expanding to handle the scope of this new project.
We’re very happy with what we have accomplished with the Dying Light franchise so far. Moreover, our journey with Dying Light 2 Stay Human has only just begun as we plan to support this game for at least 5 years, with its scope and size matching, if not exceeding, what we have provided our community with during post-launch support for its predecessor.
At the same time, our ambition is to introduce a brand new IP that is vastly different from what we have been doing for the past several years. We want to create a fully next-gen experience. A new fantasy epic set in a sprawling open world, fueled by the skills and experience we have gained as a team over the years, infused with new ideas, passion, and creativity.
While we cannot share more details about this project now, we’re all truly invested in it and looking forward to showing it to gamers when the time is right.
At this time, Techland's new fantasy RPG has not firm release date, though it is expected to launch exclusively on PC and current-generation console platforms.
