What began as a weapon mod for Dead Island is now Techland's next game: Project Hell.

Posting on the official Project Hell blog, Sharpen Your Axes, Techland describes Project Hell as a first-person hack and slash game in a dark fantasy setting.
"It started inconspicuously with an internal weapon mod for Dead Island created by one of developers – MZM (his real name is Marcin). It was a proof that chopping monsters frozen by magic spells using two-handed swords is brutally fun and addictive," the Project Hell devs explain. "This mod made such an impression that MZM was given a few people from the company to help (including my humble self) and a chance to create a game prototype – but that's a story for another post. What's most important right now is the fact that we have independence in developing Project Hell (bear in mind it's only a code name) and we want to keep you up to date with details about it on this blog."
