Whatever the outcome, hopefully the very visible, obvious issues around Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light 2, and games with similarly weaponised fanbases will convince creators to stop relying on the years-long hype circus to promote their games. Just last week, the studio tweeted, “We announced the game too early but it’s far from being in a dev hell.” Techland leadership sold a dream for what Dying Light 2 might be to fans years ago and now it’s a nightmare fuelling arsehole commenters and potentially deeper problems at the studio.Įventually the game will either come out (the new video says 2021) or it won’t. Last month, The Gamer reported that the project suffered from a lack of direction, and cited a number of incidents at the studio that pointed toward a pattern of toxic management at Techland.
Months after it was delayed, Polish outlet reported that development wasn’t going well, and that the studio was struggling to deliver on its promise of a dynamic and changing world. Who exactly was served by this entire messed-up cycle?Īnd yet we’re seeing it again with Dying Light 2. Despite years of edgelord marketing, it’s plummeted off the NPD sales charts. The game quickly sold 13 million copies and was just as quickly pulled from the PlayStation Store for performance issues. This was several weeks after Bloomberg first reported that CD Projekt Red developers were being forced to work mandatory overtime to finish the game, and several weeks before some Cyberpunk 2077 fans would go berserk over insufficiently positive reviews of the final game. “I will burn you alive if you don’t release the game,” read one of the death threats he shared in a screenshot. .demo so if ANYBODY can get this to the creators of dying light and convince them to add that stuff in game that would be so helpfu l for ps4, xbox. After the game was delayed a third time in late October, senior game designer Andrzej Zawadzki and others reported being harassed over the news. We saw this exact scenario play out last year with Cyberpunk 2077.
