New Details on Dying Light: The Beast

Following the events of Dying Light: The Following, Kyle Crane's fate has been a lingering question mark for fans. The Beast finally provides the answers, serving not only as the conclusion to Crane's story but also as a crucial bridge connecting the narratives of Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human, as franchise director Tymon Smektała explains.

The series' signature parkour mechanics face a new challenge in The Beast's rural setting. Developers had to reimagine movement, integrating industrial structures and natural elements like trees and cliffs into the fluid, adaptable parkour system, preserving the franchise's spirit while adapting to the environment.

While Stay Human leaned more heavily into action, The Beast returns to the series' roots, emphasizing the constant threat and limited resources. Ammunition will be scarce, enemies more dangerous, particularly under the cover of the night forest, making strategic retreat a vital survival skill.

Dying Light: The Beast promises a significant addition to the franchise's lore, resolving long-standing mysteries, concluding Crane's arc, and setting the stage for future installments. The game is slated for release in Summer 2025.
