Despite reports that Techland, the developers of Dying Light, was secretly bought out by Microsoft from Polshi Gamedev, it seems that Techland is still going strong. Taking to Twitter, Ola Sondej, the senior PR manager at Techland, has confirmed that the company was not acquired by another publisher like the Polish report stated.
In case you guys wondered, Techland was not acquired by another publisher. We’re still an independent studio, and will deliver Dying Light 2 on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

According to Sondej, the English translation of the Polish article is inaccurate, leading to the misinformation and false news of the company’s status.
While I have your attention, development of Dying Light 2 is moving forward, the game’s in good shape (and in good hands), so worry not. It IS coming.

Thankfully, it seems that Techland is still going strong and pushing ahead with Dying Light 2. While the game was delayed back in January indefinitely, this tweet seems to indicate that development on the title has been going ahead despite the current pandemic.
