Development
Development
The game was originally going to be a mod for Dead Island, which was also developed by Techland, before it became an individual game. The game's working title was Project Hell. The game was first revealed in a press release on April 29, 2013. The press release stated that the game would be released in 2013. The game was described as mixing "the best aspects of" Dead Island and The Elder Scrolls as well as a spiritual successor to the 1990s fantasy first-person shooter games such as Hexen and Witchaven. In May 2014, Hellraid was delayed to allow it to be rebuilt on Techland's latest version of their in-house engine, Chrome Engine 6. The company also announced that it was transitioning Hellraid to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to be released as a digital-only game. In May 2015, Techland announced that the company has put the development of Hellraid on hold as the game failed to meet the company's expectation. Techland decided to focus on expanding the universe of Dying Light, which was also developed by Techland and was released in January 2015. In July 2020, Techland released "Dying Light: Hellraid", a DLC pack for the game Dying Light, inspired by Hellraid. Its final update was released in 2022.
