Like a garbage disposal with a severed arm shoved down it, the video game market is clogged with zombie games. New games featuring the walking dead have trouble standing out from the horde, but Techland’s first-person, open-world, action/RPG entry Dead Island distinguishes itself
Techland, the studio behind the Dying Light franchise, has recently registered a new trademark for a project titled Dying Light: The Beast.
Dying Light 2 developer Techland talks about the "secret formula" to their games' success, and comments on how they see live service games.
Dying Light 2 was horrible. I played it at launch and it was a buggy and broken piece of shit. I didn't enjoy the game's locale either. They've released a ton of patches and updates for it though, and I'm somewhat keen to give it another chance. But the game left a horrible impression on me, especially seeing as how the first one was my favourite game last gen.

"We will retain full ownership of our IPs, maintain creative freedom, and continue to operate the way we believe is right. I'm also going to continue serving as the studio’s CEO."
Unless it angers China and Winnie the Poop. Then I'm out of a job and we'll be fu...Ahem. Anyways. Please clap and be excited!
Thank you!

New open world fantasy action rpg is going well apparently. Been watching some Dying Light 2 endgame as well. We’ll see how it all turns out.
Dead island 2 is a better game than dying light 2. So whatever you do please make more fun games
More consolidation... Not good.
I really hope that the main "asset" with a company like tech land is it's people, and if you jerk around the people, they'll leave and make great games for someone else, maybe start something new.
Maybe tools like unreal will lower the barriers to entry to make this easier?
Dunno, trying to be optimistic that this, too, will pass.
Ultimately if they can't make good games, the investment will fail and the good people will move on.. I hope
Nice to hear that Game Informer liked it. They are one of the sites/magazines I trust the most when it comes to reviews.
Good score, will be picking up.
Today midnight launch!!!!!!!
Eh after watching about 20 minutes of it I felt it'd get about 7s to 8s from reviewers. Looks like a game with potential that is perhaps lacking a bit of polish.
Isn't it out of 10?
