As a result, the studio struck out on its own and began development of Dying Light, a much more ambitious release that would hopefully be much closer to the studio’s original vision.ĭying Light released a few years later in 2015 to much more positive reception and sales, and now Techland has pulled off the herculean task of squeezing its flagship release onto the Switch. Still, Dead Island had never quite been the game that Techland envisioned it to be, due both to creative differences with the publisher and hardware limitations. In 2011, Techland released Dead Island on most seventh generation consoles to mostly positive reception.
Note: Dying Light Platinum Edition is unavailable on Switch eShop in Europe at the time of writing pending an issue with the game being banned in Germany.
