Now, Dying Light has entertained more than 8 million players - a figure that clearly delights Techland CEO Pawel Marchewka, even if it doesn't quite surprise him. And Techland released Dying Light, which raised the bar far beyond what it had achieved with Dead Island - an IP it created, but that Deep Silver owns - to become perhaps the best zombie game since Valve's Left 4 Dead. CD Projekt continued its irresistible rise with The Witcher 3, stealing most of the headlines and Game of the Year awards in the process.

Initally there were rumours that Dying Light was a sequel to Dead Island, but this has been denied and proven false as Techland members confirmed that it was an original title ever since its development. Made prior to Dying Light, many of Dying Light's gameplay aspects are similar to Dead Island's, some have considered Dying Light as a "spiritual successor" to the Dead Island franchise, even though no actual connection has been made by Techland between the two series. Originally announced at E3 2006, the game was released on September 2011 and October 11 (in Japan). The game is centred on surviving an zombie-infested open world with a major emphasis on melee combat, and the plot tells about four survivors trying to survive on the island of Banoi until they are able to escape the island. Dead Island is a first person action role-playing survival horror video game developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Linux, and OS X.
