Dying Light 2 it may still be in active development according to Techland, but the positive news surrounding the project hasn’t exactly been in free fall since its indefinite delay at the beginning of last year. One more for the growing stack is that writer Pawel Selinger has now left the developer after 22 years, who is credited with writing as a writer in both the original Dying Light and its next sequel. His previous work also includes credits on Dead Island and three Call of Juarez entries, according to IMDB.
On his LinkedIn page, Selinger said, “After more than twenty-two years, I decided to end my cooperation with Techland. I want to express my gratitude to the company that has allowed me to develop and fulfill myself for half my life. Techland, I will always be rooting for you, as well as the great people I met, thanks to you. I wish Dying light 2 and subsequent projects to become worldwide successes. Goodbye and good luck! “
The question now is whether or not the writer’s departure can be used as a reflection of Techland’s current situation around Dying Light 2. Not a single substantial piece of information has been shared since the game’s delay, but during that time, rumors circulated about serious development struggles. The developer was very quick to deny these reports. A glimmer of hope for fans may come from the team’s new year message shared on Twitter, where followers were told to “get ready for 2021”. Let’s hope Dying Light 2 comes out next year – it has the potential to be something really, really cool.
