"Game development is never a straight line"

Dying Light developer Techland has confirmed – or certainly not denied – reports that it has cancelled games internally, though it's still unclear whether its untitled fantasy RPG is among them.

I reached out to the studio yesterday to ask for details and confirmation after Polish business paper Pulz Biznesu reported that Techland had cancelled two projects. The studio's response is a bit vague but doesn't push back on the report. I specifically asked about the two reported cancellations and the status of the fantasy RPG announced in 2022, but Techland did not directly respond to that last query.

I've followed up asking – but not holding my breath – for more details on that fantasy RPG and the scope of the production changes, but Techland seems to be holding its cards close to its chest for now.
