On Tuesday, Techland teased fans with the future for its ongoing zombie-laden series Dying Light, and now it’s confirmed the series will move into “multiple unannounced projects.”
Techland has unveiled its ambitious future plans for the ongoing hit zombie-riddled franchise, Dying Light, and according to the developers it could be big. As part of the 10th-anniversary celebration marking the original Dying Light release on console and PC, Techland has revealed they’re looking to grow the franchise into “multiple unannounced projects” and possibly other forms of media.
In a press statement, Techland says “We’ll continue the series with multiple unannounced projects and will also go beyond video games with new board games, exclusive merchandise, original webcomic series, and more on the horizon. Our goal is to bring the world of Dying Light to even more people,” in the ambitious expansion plans for the franchise. Interestingly enough, Techland doesn’t detail on whether the team would be looking into television or film, but they mention the prospect of board games, and it’s unclear whether they mean Monopoly or TTRPG roleplaying like Dungeons & Dragons.
Fans of Dying Light itching to dive back into a mess of zombies will not have to wait long on the video game front, as the next entry Dying Light: The Beast is scheduled to launch in Summer 2025. Also, Techland has also provided a roadmap on future updates for the two mainline titles in the series. Notably, Techland has announced a patch for the original title that will reintroduce events as they unfold, improve visual quality and deliver a remastered soundtrack with new music from the game’s original composer Paweł Błaszczak. The announcement trailer launched by Techland featuring the new title, Dying Light: The Beast, can be seen below.
