Polish analysts have disclosed the estimated value of the deal between Tencent and Techland. It was the largest M&A transaction of 2023 in the country.

Tencent is back on its shopping spree as its global expansion continues. The Chinese tech giant is now preparing to acquire a majority stake in Dying Light developer Techland.

Poland is home to some of the world’s most recognized game developers and publishers. So what is the net worth of Techland, CD Projekt, and Playway executives?

CD Projekt shares have been falling for a while now, undermining its position in the Polish games market. According to the latest report, Techland is now valued more than the Cyberpunk 2077 developer.

Techland has opened up about its upcoming AAA open-world action RPG based on a new IP. The untitled game’s development is led by former CD Projekt RED staff, with the company now having dozens of open positions.

Techland has revealed that Dying Light 2 has reached a major sales milestone. The Poland-based company also shared its plans for upcoming updates for the game.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human has climbed the sales charts like they are some parkour-friendly rooftops. The game’s production, however, has not been without challenges. We spoke with Kornel Jaskuła, senior producer at Techland, about the game’s development and its narrative, as well as the company’s growth and the way the pandemic has affected the internal processes.

Famous game writer Chris Avellone has shared more details about his work on Dying Light 2. Contrary to popular belief, he didn’t write the whole story and just did a few quests for the upcoming game.

After twenty years of being “a limited liability company”, Techland changed its company details to “Techland S.A.” “S.A.” is short for “Spółka Akcyjna”, which means a publicly-traded company.

Ten current and former Techland devs spoke anonymously to The Gamer highlighing what seems to be the crisis of the studio’s management culture. We have selected the most graphic quotes both from the team and from the management on various aspects of the Dying Light 2 development.

Techland community manager denied recent reports about a potential Microsoft acquisition. Despite the rumors, the studio will keep its independent status.
