The statement comes via the Hellraid website , where Techland explains the game simply wasn’t up to scratch.“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,” reads the statement.“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.”Moving forward, Techland plans to shift its focus onto Dying Light, or more specifically, the future of Dying Light as a franchise.“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!”As of March, 2015, Dying Light had shifted some 3.2 million copies worldwide. The next piece of DLC for Dying Light is due to drop on May 26. The Bozak Horde puts players in Harran Stadium and challenges them to survive a series of challenges thrown at them by a madman named Bozak.
