Support NeoGAF

[Ragona]

Hey Gaf,
as we all know, Gamescom is starting next week and one of the biggest german streaming channels, Rocketbeans TV, are hosting the official Gamescom TV show for the cologne expo.

In their weekly shedule (https://www.rocketbeans.tv/wochenplan/?nextWeek=1) it announces 'New stuff from Techland' for tuesday 15.30 CEST.

Its been over 2 years since Dying light released, and they recently announced free DLC for the first game.

So potential sequel incoming?

 

[ekgrey]

I really hope so. Game was fantastic and whether they return to that world or build a new one, I'm excited to visit.

 

[Turkoop]

Yes, they will.
Not sure if its DL2

 

[Piston Hyundai]

They've been pushing the post-release support stuff real hard lately, so it's probably more about that. Maybe a standalone expansion.

 

[johancruijff]

i fucking hope so

 

[Masterspeed]

I can't wait to see a thread about their new game getting free DLC in 5 years.

What ever it is, I'm sure they're going to dedicate time to free content like they did before, it's such a great way to treat your fans.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Not a DL sequel or any internal project, but something from their publishing arm

Its been described as ''fast paced action title; Hotline Miami meets John Wick''

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Yes, they will.
Not sure if its DL2

Probably a high possibility it is? I imagine the first game did well enough to get them started on another real quick

edit:

Not a DL sequel or any internal project, its something from their publishing arm

Its been described as ''fast paced action title; Hotline Miami meets John Wick''

well then

i'm eager to see it

 

[Shredderi]

Techland is a publisher as well now so they might shine light on a game they're publishing but not developing. I really want a new Dying Light already tho....

 

[Käebi]

Weren't they working on a dark fantasy/dungeon crawler-esque game?

Edit: Yep, "Hellraid" wasn't cancelled , maybe it's a re-announcement.

 

[Riptor]

Please go back to Hellraid.

 

[Razzmatazzer]

Please go back to Hellraid.

I was really bummed when this got put aside, hope it eventually comes out

 

[JaseC]

Weren't they working on a dark fantasy/dungeon crawler-esque game?

That would be Hellraid, which was shelved back in 2015. Emphasis on "shelved" as it's not dead, just in suspended animation.

 

[Mathieran]

Damn I was hoping for Dying Light 2. I guess since they are working on a bunch of new dlc maybe we shouldn't expect it anytime soon.

 

[halfbeast]

Spoiler

(she's bi)

 

[OldMuffin]

So guess I'm the only one that wants a new call of Juarez.... though hellblade would be great as well!

 

[Leafhopper]

Yeah it's steam page is still around at least.

 

[Brian_FETO]

From what I know, it doesnt seem to be a DL sequel or any internal project, but something from their publishing arm

Its been described as ''fast paced action title; Hotline Miami meets John Wick''

If true

I need it

 

[antitrop]

So guess I'm the only one that wants a new call of Juarez.... though hellblade would be great as well!

I would too, but Ubisoft owns CoJ and I don't think they're interested in another one.

Gunslinger was great and Dying Light was, too.

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

From what I know, it doesnt seem to be a DL sequel or any internal project, but something from their publishing arm

I'd certainly be down for that.

 

[IcyRhythms]

Please be Dying Light 2

 

[DarkArterialGore]

Dying Light was a really good game, you could tell the devs put a lot of pride and effort into making it's mechanics far more solid than most games of this type.

Definitely interested in their next game.

 

[OldMuffin]

I would too, but Ubisoft owns CoJ and I don't think they're interested in another one.

Gunslinger was great and Dying Light was, too.

Gahhh of course, though techland own the ip all this time and ubi was just the publisher. So I guess that means we will see it in a few years as some dumb mp games as service bull.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

From what I know, it doesnt seem to be a DL sequel or any internal project, but something from their publishing arm

So its another open world zombie game but this time mixed with a hero shooter because everything is overwatch.

 

[Silvergun-Blue]

Please go back to Hellraid.

I was really bummed when this got put aside, hope it eventually comes out

Here's me thinking I was the only person that gave a shit about Hellraid.

 

[Glass Rebel]

From what I know, it doesnt seem to be a DL sequel or any internal project, but something from their publishing arm

I'd love a spiritual successor to Call of Juarez Gunslinger.

Which reminds me that I need to replay that.

 

[Alexious]

So its another open world zombie game but this time mixed with a hero shooter because everything is overwatch.

It's top-down (like Hotline Miami) and a shooter - not hero.

 

[kraspkibble]

dying light 2 PLEASE.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

It's top-down (like Hotline Miami) and a shooter - not hero.

We'll see. I just thinking most boring obvious choice to prevent disappointment.

 

[Karspankey]

I'm wondering if they are retooling Dead Island 2 to make it Dying Light 2?

Hell, I can even see Dead Island 2 becoming a sort of Dying Light: Riptide type of deal.

When was the last time we heard about Dead Island 2? Last I recall, it was being handed to a different developer.

 

[More_Badass]

From what I know, it doesnt seem to be a DL sequel or any internal project, but something from their publishing arm

Maybe they're publishing The Hong Kong Massacre. Dev said he was working on a trailer last month

Err, Dying Light was already a retooled Dead Island 2. Techland hasn't developed a new game in that series since Riptide.

 

[Stevey]

Please be Hellraid

 

[Karspankey]

Err, Dying Light was already a retooled Dead Island 2. Techland hasn't developed a new game in that series since Riptide.

Are you sure? Looking it up, Sumo Digital announced that they are working on Dead Island 2 as of March, 2016 and Dying Light came out in January of 2015.

 

[Duchess O'Death]

Better be Dying Light 2! One of the best games this generation!

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

Please go back to Hellraid.

they have the potential to make a Skyrim-like game with actual decent combat

 

[Tesser]

''fast paced action title; Hotline Miami meets John Wick''

I'll take that...providing it's not a[nother] VR iteration.

 

[Ridley327]

Dead Island has been in the works for a loooooooooooong time.

 

[Karspankey]

Dead Island has been in the works for a loooooooooooong time.

Yeah, I know I was saying that they took it over as of that date, so it is obvious that DI 2 was not just retooled into DL 2

Anyways, I'm confident now that it will be The Hong Kong Massacre that they are publishing as evidenced above. Maybe they will have multiple things, but THKM definitely makes sense if that is what is being rumored.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Dying Light 2 pls thx

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Techland is also a publisher now so even if they do announce something, it may not necessarily be from them.

 

[Razzmatazzer]

Here's me thinking I was the only person that gave a shit about Hellraid.

My one buddy and I would always share new footage the minute it was out, both thought it looked really fun and had potential. I keep waiting for it to return since I know it was said that it was just put on hold temporarily.

 

[Shiggy]

Let's hope it's more than just this:

Gamescom trailer

 

[Paquete_PT]

Hope so, Dying Light is one of the biggest surprises of this gen, really good title!

 

[wamberz1]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

I'm usually not one to beg for sequels over original new games but I would KILL for a new dying light.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Let's hope it's more than just this:


Gamescom trailer

lol, this will be there too, but its not just this

 

[MadYarpen]

Guess i got to finish 1st.... I am stuck at

Spoiler

mutant fight at the arena

 

[EvB]

Please no more zombie games

 

[Contica]

Zombies are boring. Bring back Call of Juarez. That second game was bad ass. Also, Nail'd was cool.

 

[Sailent]

Same shit but parkour in a cyberpunk city :_)

Running away from splicers and people who've lost their humanity :_)

The dream.
