Hellraid is a video game in development by Techland.Hellraid is to feature both co-operative and single-player modes, as well as an online mode called 'Game Master'.The game is to be played from a first-person perspective and to feature randomly generated content. The co-op multiplayer mode was announced to be able to feature up to four players.
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.[6] The game was described as a mix "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 have 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.
