CDP Veterans Involved in Techland's Fantasy RPG; First Artwork
After the success of Dying Light 2, Techland is not slowing down, recruiting talented employees for a new, ambitious project. Among them are people who have had a hand in CD Projekt Red's hits.
As we reported in our previous newsTechland is very optimistic about the future, counting on record revenues from the sale of its games this year. What's interesting, a board member of the Polish company, Karol Bach, informed in an interview for Polish website Puls Biznesu that intensive work on Dying Light 2 did not prevent the developer from engaging in a new, mysterious project of a fantasy RPG.
Announcement
We can suspect that the yet untitled game will boast a significant scope. This is evidenced by wide-scale search for talented people who will help the studio in creating this new AAA title. Below we present the announcement published by Techland on its official twitter account.
As we can see, the post is also accompanied by a concept art, which is probably related to the yet unannounced title (you can take a closer look at it below). Unfortunately we don't know anything more about the big project, but there are rumors that it may be based on the abandoned Hellraid.
XYZ wanted
Techland started working on the upcoming game some time ago, but it's only now that the work is about to start in full swing. Additional hands are needed, as part of the team will continue to focus on developing Dying Light 2. The list of wanted specialists is quite impressive. As we can read on the developer's website, the studio offers nearly 70 positions, including a creative director, who will be responsible for defining a clear vision of the game and creating its foundations.
Elite team
While the vacant positions certainly make a big impression on those interested, even more interesting is the lineup hired so far - it may give hope that the new title will be another ace up Techland's sleeve. Below are some of the names that have had a part in high-profile projects in their portfolio:
- Karolina Stachyra - creative director, previously worked with CD Projekt Red on The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and on DLCs for the latter.
- Arkadiusz Borowik - Chief Narrative Designer, previously worked with CD Projekt Red on The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and on DLCs for the latter.
- Bartosz Ochman - open world director, previously worked on such games as Cyberpunk 2077 or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
- Mario Maltezos - creative director, in the past worked with companies such as Ubisoft (Prince of Persia: Sands of Time), Warner Bros. (Mad Max) and Microsoft.
- David McClure - lead game designer, previously associated with Arkane Studios (Deathloop), Deep Silver and Playground Games.
