Developer Dry Cactus has announced that physics-based bridge building in Poly Bridge is back with a third entry. Poly Bridge 3 releases on May 30 for PC and will continue the series’ tradition of unsteady bridge building with a touch of Trials Fusion physics turned inside out. Your goal here is to move your car from one side of the level to the other, hoping your newly built bridge doesn’t collapse.

Techland, developer of Dead Island and Dying Light, has released a small teaser trailer for their upcoming “exotic” fantasy open-world RPG.

Writing on Twitter today, Techland described the project as a “fantastic story-driven epic with an exotic open world ready to be explored.”

The painting depicts a man holding onto the branches of a huge tree, overlooking a fantastic landscape and a sky filled with a torn apart moon. Several creatures are also shown – something that looks like parrots and a lemur.

“We’re committed to creating an immersive AAA story-driven game that combines and enhances the best aspects of gameplay that Techland is known for,” the studio continued. Ha, I wonder what it could be?

If the project sounds familiar, then you are great – it has been mentioned before, but not for a number of years.

Back in 2016, Techland confirmed that it was working on an open-world fantasy game with RPG elements, “maybe in a slightly bigger sense than Dying Light,” said studio head Pave&lstrok. This was then reported by Marchevka to Eurogamer. “[But] these are elements of an RPG, not an RPG game.”

At the time, Techland stated that it planned to include co-op multiplayer and single-player modes in the project.

Since then, we haven’t heard much about the project – although, of course, Techland has been busy updating the hugely popular Dying Light, as well as launching its sequel.

There is no word yet on when the Techland project will come to fruition or even be discussed in more detail.
