Techland

Techland

Techland is a Polish software developer.

Company history

Founded in 1991, Techland debuted in Wrocław as computer software distributor. The first internally developed product, Crime Cities, was published in 1997. The date marks the consolidation of the core development team whose collaborative efforts resulted in the creation of the proprietary Chrome Engine in the year 2003. The first game based on the in-house engine which established Techland as a widely-recognized software developer was a sci-fi first person shooter, Chrome. The critical acclaim and commercial success of the original title were the grounds for the sequel entitled Chrome: Specforce, released in 2005. Alongside the top quality first person shooters, Techland developed rally simulation games Xpand Rally and Xpand Rally Xtreme. In the year 2006 a VW licensed arcade driving game, GTI Racing, was added to Techland's development team portfolio.

Since its first appearance in the year 2003, ChromeEngine, has been under constant development and in 2006 it evolved into ChromeEngine 4. The potential of the SDK is demonstrated in the latest of Techland's titles, Call of Juarez. This Western-themed first person shooter for PC and next-gen consoles received worldwide recognition and reinforced Techland's position. Call of Juarez is currently the company's most recognized product and the first title to fully support DirectX 10.

Current projects

Techland's staff of over 80 people is currently working on a survival horror – Dead Island, open-world FPS – Warhound and sequel to the acknowledged series – Chrome 2.
