Techland’s Technical Game Director, Grzegorz Świstowski, said these changes are possible because of constant improvements to its proprietary engine. Dying Light’s “Retouched” update gives the environment a more detailed look. Techland“One of the best things about working with your own engine is that the people building it are just next door,” Świstowski said. Despite just passing its 10th anniversary, Dying Light somehow has more concurrent players on Steam than its well-received 2022 sequel. The newest chapter in the series, Dying Light: The Beast, drops later this summer.
