Rumors about it Dying light 2 developer Techland, which may be the target of an upcoming acquisition, seems greatly exaggerated. According to the studio’s community manager, Techland is still a very independent company and has not been taken over by any other publisher at this point.
The traction with these rumors started yesterday when the host of a popular Xbox podcast shared that they had heard that Microsoft may be in the process of taking Techalnd and stabilizing the developer at its Xbox Game Studios. This then prompted a response from the aforementioned Techland community manager after mentions of the rumor spilled up in their direct messages on Twitter. “A year ago, the same rumor swept the internet and the situation didn’t change,” said Uncy, the studio community manager. “Techland is an independent studio and it has not been acquired by any other publisher.”
I am getting a lot of DMs on Dying Light acquisition so I’ll reply here:

The news that Techland may be taking over comes at a time when takeover rumors have been circulating for months. Just a few weeks ago, a major new report surfaced that said multiple publishers such as Xbox, PlayStation, Electronic Arts, and Amazon were all recently looking for different independent studios. Considering Techland is a prominent indie company, it makes sense that they became one of the companies in the rumor mill.
For now, we only know for sure about Techland that they are working hard on it Dying light 2While we haven’t heard anything new about the game officially from Techland for quite some time, the studio teased that we should start hearing more as the year went on. In the meantime, a new report has recently come out claiming that the game will launch sooner than we think.
In fact, Dying light 2 hasn’t even gotten a release window yet, although a launch is expected in 2021. When it arrives, it will be coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC.
