Please find below a letter from Techland to the community:
Dear Pilgrims,
Your feedback has always been our top priority. That’s why, at Techland, we strive to be as open and as honest with you as possible.
Over the last few months, we have focused on adding some of your most requested features, such as New Game + mode, FOV slider for consoles, and many co-op improvements. On top of that, in June, we will introduce the first game Chapter entitled “In the Footsteps of a Nightrunner,” filled with content and events, as well as the highly anticipated photo mode.
That being said, we need a bit more time to develop the first story DLC, which is now planned to be released in September.
We apologize for the delay, but we firmly believe that our community, fans, and gamers deserve to receive some truly unforgettable experiences.
We want the first major story DLC to meet your expectations by giving it the absolute highest level of polish.
Kruger & Flint Productions announced today that its fast and brutal First Person Shooter Bloodhound, will premiere on Xbox and PC in 2022. The new indie shooter is a work of developers previously involved in the creation of Dying Light 2, Witchfire or Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3. Check out the official trailer.
The new shooter title is a debut project created by indie studio Kruger & Flint Productions. The team is made of experienced creators, who had previously worked on games with reputable Polish producers (Techland, The Astronauts and CI Games).
Bloodhound is a first-person shooter reminiscent of classic titles, focused on dynamic and uncompromising arcade action.In the main campaign mode, the player takes up the role of a member of a secret faction of the Templar Order and fights to stop the demonic cult of Astaroth.
“It is a game created out of passion – the kind we would like to play. It’s brutal, it’s intense and there’s blood. It’s all served in a heavy, horror reminiscent atmosphere. Our main inspirations were Doom, Quake and Painkiller, but we also reached the work of Zdzisław Beksiński, rich in decay centric pieces and apocalyptic motives” – said Rafał “Flint” Krzemiński, CEO, Kruger & Flint Productions.
The final version of Bloodhound offers a campaign made of 4 acts; diverse and terrifying locations, as well as 15 types of enemies and 4 bosses. The player will be aided by 10 types of weapons (including a machete, flamethrower attached chainsaw, shotgun, railgun, crossbow and missile launcher). The creators are in the middle of creating additional game modes (arena and multiplayer).
“A free demo has been made available on Steam. It includes one training area and it’s the first taste of what’s yet to come from Bloodhound” – said Jakub “Kruger” Kubiak, producer, Kruger & Flint Productions.
Meanwhile, an fundraiser is running on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, meant to support the game’s further development.
Bloodhound – main features:

Far From Home pulled back the curtain late on the extended gameplay trailer forForever Skiesas part of the Future Games Show: Spring Showcase, unearthing more secrets of the upcoming game.
Forever Skies is a first-person action survival sci-fi game that takes place on a destroyed and deserted Earth in the wake of a massive ecological disaster.
Originally announced under the codename “Project Oxygen”, the game has been in the making for over two years from former AA and AAA devs who worked on titles such as Dying Light, Dying Light 2, Dead Island, The Medium, Chernobylite and the Divinity Original Sin Series.
You play as a lone scientist in Forever Skies, returning to Earth long after a global ecological catastrophe has left the planet uninhabitable to humans. Above the toxic clouds are the remnants of humanity's last stand. Build, expand and control a high-tech airship that will act as your transport, shelter, laboratory and workshop for researching mysterious substances and crafting tools for survival. Scavenge, find ways of obtaining food and resources, and explore the ruins above and below the thick, toxic dust layer which now shrouds the Earth’s surface. Why is the dust there? What is it exactly? And perhaps more importantly, what lies beneath it?
