The development of Hellraid, an action RPG from the makers of Dying Light, has been put on hold.
Techland made the announcement on its Facebook page today, confirming that the game will not be getting released this year as previously planned, and that the development has been halted for failing to meet the studio's expectations on the project. They stated that their best course of action would be to send it back to the drawing board and reinvent the title anew.
Hellraid as we know it will no longer exist.
The studio also stated that in addition to putting Hellraid's development on hold, they are consolidating their development resources to further expand their Dying Light franchise, a game which we very much enjoyed when it was released earlier this year.
Here's what they wrote, in full:
Dear Hellraid fans,
We would like to officially announce that our dark fantasy FPP game Hellraid will not be released this year as previously planned, and the development of the game has been put on hold.
In the recent months we conducted an internal analysis and came to the conclusion that Hellraid, in its current shape and form, is not meeting our own expectations for this project. Therefore, we decided the best course of action would be to send it back to the drawing board and invent our dark fantasy title anew.
In the meantime, we will consolidate our development resources and focus on further expansion of our Dying Light franchise.
We wish to thank all our fans for your support – you’re the best!
