Dying Light developer Techland has announced a partnership with Tencent, which will become a majority shareholder.
In a blog update, Techland’s CEO Paweł Marchewka said this partnership will allow the team to “move full speed ahead with the execution of the vision for [its] games”, calling Tencent an “ally who has already partnered with some of the world’s finest video game companies and helped them reach new heights while respecting their ways of doing things”.
Techland will still retain full ownership of its IPs and maintain its “creative freedom”.
Marchewka called this new partnership with the Chinese conglomerate an exciting new chapter in Techland’s history.
“Whenever I think about the future of Techland, I want the best for our games, the team, and you. And while I am very proud of our achievements as an independent studio over all these years, I believe the best is yet to come,” Marchewka wrote.
