Similarly, he was also once working on the System Shock remake but Night Dive Studios CEO Stephen Kick said on Twitter, “Chris hasn’t been involved in our development since 2017, and we went a different direction with the writing after we restarted the project in 2018.”

Bloodlines 2 publishers Paradox told Gamasutra that Avellone had “briefly worked” with the writing team “early in development” but not in a while, and his work is no longer in the game anyway.

Polish developer Techland, who were working with Avellone on Dying Light 2, released a statement to announce the end of that relationship. “We treat matters of sexual harassment and disrespect with utmost care, and have no tolerance for such behaviours – it applies to both our employees as well as external consultants, Chris among them,” Techland said. “This is why, together with Chris Avellone, we’ve decided to end our cooperation.”
