Selinger’s LinkedIn page lists him as an “art director and screenwriter,” but he also appears to have served as the lead story designer for Dying Light 2. This position was previously held by Chris Avellon, who was fired from Techland in the past. Year after reporting inappropriate behaviour and sexual harassment while working in several studios. Needless to say, a game that lost two top writers in a relatively short time doesn’t inspire confidence in gamers.

Wccftech contacted Techland for clarification. A studio spokesman confirmed that Selinger had left the company. Techland also clarified other points: it named Selinger’s replacement and made it clear that he was never the project’s art director.

“Pavel Selinger, who has worked as a narrative designer for the past two years, decided at the end of 2020 to end his partnership with Techland and pursue his career elsewhere,” Techland said. – Pavel has spent most of his professional life at Techland and, among other things, has put a lot of energy into the success of the Call of Juarez series. He left a significant part of himself in Dying Light 2, as he worked on the project from the beginning. His responsibilities, that is, the storytelling department, were transferred to Piotr Szymanek in October 2020. We want to assure all fans of the upcoming Dying Light 2 that the post of Art Director is not in jeopardy and that Eric Cauchonneau has been taking over since November 2019. Since then, Eric has taken care of all aspects of the current production, and the team under his leadership is doing everything possible to offer players the best game possible. We’ll be sharing exciting news about Dying Light 2 soon! “
