2020 wasn’t a great year for Dying Light 2 news, and it seems like 2021 may follow suit. Dying Light 2 was originally supposed to come out in early 2020, but in January of that year the game suffered a major delay, and has been without a release window ever since. Shortly after that delay, Polish reports emerged that the game’s development was a “total mess,” with story beats and mechanics changing constantly as then head-writer Chris Avellone and creative director Adrian Ciszewski clashed over the direction of the game. Only weeks after that report, Avellone was ousted from Techland following reports of inappropriate behavior and sexual harassment during his time at multiple studios.
Dying Light 2 narrative lead leaves Techland, devs promise “exciting news” soon
Dying Light 2 narrative lead Pawel Selinger has left Techland after 22 years with the company. Selinger was a lead artist and art director at Techland prior to working on Dying Light 2, and was of the key voices in determining the upcoming game’s overall vision. Techland says that Selinger’s duties were taken over in October 2020 by Piotr Szymanek, a Polish TV writer who previously worked with HBO Europe.
“After over 22 years, I decided to end my cooperation with Techland,” Selinger says in a LinkedIn post, “I would like to express my gratitude to the company that has allowed me to develop and fulfill myself for half of my life. Techland, I will always be rooting for you, as well as the great people I have met thanks to you. I wish you that Dying Light 2 and subsequent projects will become world hits.”
