Dying Light developer Techland has reportedly cancelled two in-development projects, allegedly adding to the pile of dead games which had already swelled today thanks to sweeping layoffs and cancellations at Xbox studios.

Polish business outlet Puls Biznesu reports (via machine translation) that Tencent reported a loss of around $37 million (USD, converted from Polish Zloty) at the end of its last fiscal year (thanks, GameWatcher). This is attributed to "decisions to discontinue further work on two projects."

At the time of this fantasy RPG's reveal, Techland CEO Paweł Marchewka said: "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."
