According to IGN, Techland is scrapping their progress on the game in order to start anew and meet the expectations they had for the game in the first place.

"We would like to officially announce that our dark fantasy FPP game Hellraid will not be released this year as previously planned, and the development of the game has been put on hold," the video game studio said in a new message on Hellraid's official website. "In the recent months we conducted an internal analysis and came to the conclusion that Hellraid, in its current shape and form, is not meeting our own expectations for this project. Therefore, we decided the best course of action would be to send it back to the drawing board and invent our dark fantasy title anew."

Techland went on to explain that the company's main focus will now be on Dying Light, creating new content like DLCs and more to ensure a greater gameplay experience for players.

Hopefully Hellraid isn't completely cancelled and Techland can figure out this title a bit better now that they've taken a step back to reevaluate. Let us know what you think of this video game news in the comments section below!
