New Details on Dying Light: The Beast

Following the enigmatic conclusion of Kyle Crane's storyline in Dying Light: The Following, fans have been eagerly awaiting answers. With the release of Dying Light: The Beast, those answers are finally in sight. Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, emphasizes that this installment not only wraps up Crane's narrative but also serves as a crucial link between the events of Dying Light and its sequel, Dying Light 2: Stay Human.

Parkour, a defining feature of the series, faced new challenges with the transition to a rural setting in The Beast. The development team had to innovate, integrating movement through industrial structures as well as natural elements such as trees and cliffs. This resulted in a dynamic and setting-adapted mechanic that stays true to the spirit of the franchise.

While Dying Light 2: Stay Human leaned more towards action, The Beast aims to recapture the intense atmosphere of constant threat and resource scarcity that defined the original game. Players will face limited ammunition and even more dangerous enemies, especially within the foreboding darkness of the night forest. Fleeing will often be the safest strategy.

Dying Light: The Beast is poised to be a pivotal chapter for fans of the series. It not only promises to resolve lingering questions and conclude Kyle Crane's journey but also sets the stage for the future of the franchise. Mark your calendars for a summer 2025 release.
