Techland has clarified that, although development of Hellraid has been put on hold, as reported last month, the game has not been cancelled.
In fact, development could start up again as soon as the third quarter of this year, once the developer has finished all of its post-launch work on Dying Light.
Techland CEO Pawel Marchewka said the following:
"Right now we want to concentrate on Dying Light. We wanted to be fair with the fans so we wanted to send a clear message, especially as a lot of the people were expecting new things coming from Hellraid at E3 and Gamescom. We decided to take the pressure away.
Once we deliver everything we want [for Dying Light], probably by the - I don't know - end of the third quarter this year, we will then maybe start to send some new [Hellraid] materials or informations or thinking about what's the release date, something like that. There is nothing concrete about this timing.
But putting on hold means we want some of the resources to concentrate on Dying Light, and once they do what needs to be done we will come back to Hellraid."
