Techland has sent a statement to some media such as Eurogamer where he remembers that the development of games «is never a straight line», and sometimes it is necessary to give things around and consider new ideas to make great titles. For Polish study, the important thing is that cancellations have not resulted in a reduction in the workforce, since all developers involved in the affected games have been transferred to other projects that follow their course.
It is unknown what two games has canceled Techland, but it is assumed that one of them is Project Cornerstone, a key name of a fantasy and open world RPG of which we have officially record since 2022. It was an ambitious and new intellectual property where developers were working that had previously been part of CD Projekt Red (The Witcher, Cyberpunk). Insider Gaming ensures that the title was inspired by the Star Wars universe and players could use a power similar to force to move objects or resort to skills such as stopping time.
Insider Gaming also comments that one of the Techland games that is still in development is a sequel to Call of Juarez. The launch of the last title of this saga dates back to 2013 with Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, a game that edited Ubisoft. Since 2018, intellectual property belongs to Techland, which is free to carry out a new title.
The cancellation of the two Techland games add up to the one who has had to discard Romero Games After running out of financing. In his case it seems that it was an FPS for Microsoft, which would have decided to leave the project as part of the cuts announced this week. It is unknown what future Romero Games will have now, but this cancellation has led to dismissals. On the other hand, we must remember that a little over a month ago People Can Fly canceled two games and one of them would be Outriders 2.
