Dying Light 2 might finally be on the horizon after developer Techland has released a statement responding to the departure of one of its longest-serving employees.
Narration Designer Pawel Selinger recently revealed on his LinkedIn page that he had left the company after 22 years at the studio. The news was reported by several outlets with a large portion of them putting him as the lead writer of the game after a recent departure of their prior writer.
Techland responded over the weekend with a statement to PC Gamer, which confirmed the departure of Pawel Selinger but also clarifying his former role: "Paweł Selinger, who has been the Narration Designer for the last two years, decided at the end of 2020 to end his cooperation with Techland and to pursue his further career elsewhere."
The statement continued on: "Paweł spent most of his professional life at Techland and he, among others, takes credit for the success of the series Call of Juarez. He left a large piece of himself with Dying Light 2, as he worked on the project from the very beginning. His duties, ie. the narrative department, were taken over by Piotr Szymanek in October 2020."
the statement also added that there could be some light on the horizon for those wanting news on the game by saying: "We will be sharing exciting news about Dying Light 2 soon!"
