Glass Cannon Unplugged — Publisher of the Dying Light Board Game
Glass Cannon Unplugged is the tabletop publisher behind Dying Light: The Board Game, the cooperative survival adaptation of Techland's hit video-game franchise. They're an independent crowdfunded studio focused on cinematic, scenario-driven board games — not the same company as CMON (a common search-engine confusion).
What they're known for
Glass Cannon Unplugged built their reputation on licensed crowdfunded adaptations of beloved video-game franchises. Their funding model leans on Kickstarter and Gamefound, with deluxe pledges, miniatures upgrades, and stretch-goal content driving most of the value for backers.
Dying Light: The Board Game is currently their highest-profile project, funded in February 2024 to the tune of over €1.78 million from 7,700+ backers. The game brings parkour, the Day/Night cycle, and Volatile chases to the tabletop — see our How to Play guide for the full breakdown.

Glass Cannon Unplugged vs CMON — the common mix-up
A surprising number of people search "Dying Light board game CMON". CMON (CoolMiniOrNot) is a separate, much larger publisher — they did not make the Dying Light Board Game. The publisher you're looking for is Glass Cannon Unplugged. The confusion likely stems from CMON's history of similarly-styled licensed coop miniatures games (Zombicide, Marvel United, etc.).
