Originally planned for a 2014 release, free-running zombie apocalypse game Dying Light is now being aimed at a February release next year. A post on the game's official site says that developer Techland is taking more time to make Dying Light live up to their expectations. » 5/08/14 11:00am 5/08/14 11:00am

Originally slated for release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, Techland's first-person co-op hackand-slash role-playing game Hellraid is riding an upgraded game engine to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One instead. » 4/30/14 11:34am 4/30/14 11:34am

Here's the latest trailer for Dying Light, Techland's upcoming free-running-slash-zombie-apocalypse simulator. As the accompanying blog post from the game's producer explains, this one lets us take a closer look at the setting and story behind all the zombie-bashing. Dig in! » 2/11/14 9:40am 2/11/14 9:40am

Even though I've already played through this level of Dying Light at PAX Prime, I'm still shifting in my chair, on edge while watching and waiting to see if the protagonist lives or dies in these 9 minutes of footage. » 12/17/13 10:40am 12/17/13 10:40am

Hellraid, the game which attempts to mix the combat of Dead Island with the setting of Dark Messiah (or Heretic, or Hexen), has a prequel that you can play right now. The catch? It's an interactive movie. Don't worry though, it's lotsa fun. » 9/24/13 5:30am 9/24/13 5:30am

There are precisely one billionty video games out there that ask you to imagine what it would be like to survive the zombie apocalypse. But it's rare to find one that makes the setting feel like anything more than just morbid fun or creepy explorations. It's hard to inspire genuine, adrenaline-rushing fear. The kind… » 9/04/13 4:00pm 9/04/13 4:00pm

These five new screenshots for Dying Light, Dead Island developer Techland's upcoming free-running zombie survival game, were released by Warner Bros. accompanying an announcement about the game's competitive "Be The Zombie" mode. » 8/30/13 6:40am 8/30/13 6:40am

Here's a 12 minute gameplay demo of Dying Light, Techland's free-running zombie survival game. It looks impressive, every bit the Mirror's Edge-meets-Dead Island thing that Stephen talked when he first saw the game earlier this year. » 8/16/13 1:30pm 8/16/13 1:30pm

In a new trailer released this morning, you can get a glimpse at a free-running scenario in the newly-announced Dying Light, the next game from the makers of Dead Island. Stephen called it Mirror's Edge with the undead. And as you can see in the trailer above, that description feels pretty accurate. » 6/07/13 9:15am 6/07/13 9:15am

Case in point: a four-minute (!) launch trailer, consisting of Mr. Greaves shooting people in the face with a wide variety of weapons. While Techland's latest entry into the Call of Juarez brand of shooters is looking better by the minute, I can't help but be wary after The Cartel. We'll see. » 5/21/13 5:20am 5/21/13 5:20am

Man... this trailer. Yes, Techland's 2013 first-person slasher Hellraid has a silly name. And yes, the Dead Island games have never been perfect. But this game looks like they took the best part of Dead Island (the combat) and applied it to a setting that screams "Dark Messiah". How can I say no to that? » 5/08/13 5:20am 5/08/13 5:20am

As we know, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger wants to return Techland's first-person shooter series to its roots. This trailer shows just that. We get to see Silas Greaves, the bounty hunter serving as this chapter's protagonist, shoot his way through the Wild West. Cue guitar ballad. Gunslinger is coming out on May 21. » 5/07/13 5:20am 5/07/13 5:20am

In Dead Island, the first-person hack and slash RPG, you went around a tropical island, punching, kicking, maiming and shooting zombies. In Dead Island: Riptide, you do the exact same thing. For some, this is enough—but not quite for others. » 4/22/13 9:00pm 4/22/13 9:00pm

Like the original Dead Island, the sequel, Dead Island: Riptide won't have a German release, because that country is really weird about depictions of killing video game zombies, who technically are not even human and literally are not real. The game's creative director was asked if he thinks Germans are still getting… » 12/02/12 11:00am 12/02/12 11:00am

The CGI trailer for Dead Island: Riptide does seem kind of similar to that emotionally riveting one for the first Dead Island game. » 9/18/12 11:55am 9/18/12 11:55am

Dead Island was a great game. It had its problems, sure, but there was something particularly wonderful about Techland's open-world, survival horror, melee-focused game. » 9/04/12 5:00pm 9/04/12 5:00pm

After name-dropping the Dead Island sequel at E3 in June, Deep Silver drops the first visuals and details on Dead Island: Riptide, which challenges the original four survivors to live up to the label once again. » 8/31/12 11:17am 8/31/12 11:17am
