Summary
According to job listings,Dying LightdeveloperTechlandis working on a third IP in addition toDying Light: The Beastand an open-world fantasy RPG the studio announced last year (thanks,PCGN).
Techland is currently hiring for several animation roles. Although the listings for Lead Animator and Senior Animator don’t reference anything besides Dying Light and the fantasy project, thelisting for Animatorreferences a third IP.
“This position is for a new IP, in addition to Dying Light and the fantasy game,” the listing reads. There isn’t much other non-generic information to go on in the listing, besides that the game is being created in Unreal Engine 5, which isn’t too surprising.
Techland is Working on Three Different Games
There is certainly a lot on Techland’s plate, with the studio’s fantasy game being the studio’s biggest project to date. We’ve only seen one concept art image so far, but Techland certainly seems excited about the title.
“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,” theannouncement post reads.
Development on Dying Light: The Beast is also in full swing. Originally intended as an expansion for Dying Light 2, the standalone title featuring original Dying Light protagonist Kyle Crane eventually grew large enough to become a game in its own right.
As for this new title, the use of the term ‘new IP’ suggests it’s not just Dying Light 3 or anything else that Techland has done before. However, with two other titles in the public’s eye, we probably won’t hear about this third game from Techland for some time yet.
