Techlands Download: Hellraid Not Cancelled, But Put On Hold

In a recent statement prior to my interview with Pawel Marchewka, Techland revealed that Hellraid would be sent back to the drawing board, putting its development on hold. The game, which is currently in development for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, aims to merge the elements of The Elder Scrolls and Dying Light into a cooperative first-person action experience set in a grim fantasy world.

Despite being put on hold, Hellraid has not been cancelled, according to Marchewka's statements. Instead, Techland wants to concentrate its resources on Dying Light and deliver everything it needs to do before revisiting Hellraid. Although there is no concrete timeline for the game's release, Marchewka hinted that we might see new information or a potential release date by the end of the third quarter this year.

It's worth noting that the term 'on hold' may not necessarily mean cancellation, but rather a temporary pause in development to allow Techland to focus on other projects. When asked if Hellraid had been cancelled, Marchewka firmly responded with a 'no no no.'

In related news, Dying Light has achieved significant success, boasting 4.5 million unique users as of the last count in mid-March. This impressive milestone underscores the popularity of Techland's dark fantasy action game.

Fans were initially concerned when Hellraid was announced as being on hold, especially after it failed to make an appearance at E3 and Gamescom. However, Techland has been transparent about its plans, ensuring that fans are aware of the status quo. While we await further updates on Hellraid, Dying Light will continue to captivate audiences with its fast-paced action and thrilling gameplay.

In conclusion, despite being put on hold, Hellraid remains an active project in development at Techland. With a focus on delivering quality rather than rushing to meet a deadline, fans can rest assured that the game will be worth waiting for when it finally returns to the forefront of the developer's priorities.
