Currently, the screenwriter is actively working on four projects at once. He calls the main one a role-playing action game in a dark fantasy setting from Republic Games.

Legendary screenwriter Chris Avellone admitted in a new interview that none of his work was used in Dying Light 2 (Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity). According to him, he was developing a branched plot with changing factions, different ideologies, and the ability for the player to directly influence the world. It was assumed that the player's decisions would lead to the emergence of new allies, enemies, and storylines.

In practice, however, according to Avellone, ideas either did not resonate or were ignored if they did not come from specific project managers. The situation was aggravated by the constantly changing team of screenwriters: authors came and went, which made it almost impossible to maintain a coherent narrative and tone. He also noted that even some leading developers experienced similar difficulties, and at least one of them left the project at a late stage of development — after Avellone himself left.

At the same time, the creator emphasizes that there were many talented developers in the Dying Light 2 team with whom he maintained good relations. Nevertheless, due to the problems described, he explicitly stated that he would no longer work with Techland.
