Techland’s Tymon Smektała, franchise director for the hit Dying Light series, expects more developers to focus on shorter, standalone games instead — or at least in between — hundred-hour AAA blockbusters in future.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz at Gamescom in Cologne, Smektała discussed the decision process behind Techland developing Dying Light: The Beast — which was announced during this week’s Opening Night Live showcase — as a separate game.
As the studio explained around the announcement, The Beast originated as a second DLC for Dying Light 2, but Smektała tells us plans changed after a substantial leak last year, including the majority of the story details.
