Rumor: New Call of Juarez in Production

Techland’s primary focus is currently on Dying Light: The Beast. They had to cancel two other projects that were not proving financially viable, but The Beast is a significant undertaking for the studio. While heavily invested in The Beast‘s development, Techland also has several other unannounced projects in the pipeline. According to reports from InsiderGaming, one of these unannounced titles is a new Call of Juarez installment, being developed using Unreal Engine 5. This isn’t the first time speculation has arisen regarding a new Call of Juarez game. Techland has actually been managing the series since 2018, and anticipation for a new entry has been building ever since.

Conversely, Project Cornerstone, an untitled fantasy RPG heavily inspired by Lucasfilm’s Star Wars, was canceled by Techland. This game was designed to allow players to wield Force-like abilities, manipulating objects and the environment, as well as other unique powers, such as temporal manipulation. Interestingly, development for Project Cornerstone had transitioned from Techland’s proprietary Chrome Engine to Unreal Engine prior to its cancellation. The precise reasons for Project Cornerstone‘s cancellation remain unclear. Despite the cancellation of these two games and a significant decline in profits, Techland has avoided layoffs. Instead, they have reassigned staff to other projects that are still actively in development. For context, the most recent Call of Juarez installment was Gunslinger, released in 2013.
