Following the mysterious events of Dying Light: The Following, the fate of Kyle Crane has left fans in suspense. Now, with the release of Dying Light: The Beast, players will finally uncover the long-awaited answers. Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, emphasizes that this is not only the conclusion of Crane's story but also a crucial link connecting the narratives of Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
Parkour, a signature element of the series, faced new challenges with the shift to a rural setting. The developers had to innovate, adapting movement to incorporate industrial structures alongside natural elements like trees and cliffs. This resulted in a dynamic and setting-adapted mechanic that maintains the essence of the franchise.
While Stay Human leaned more into action, The Beast aims to reintroduce the intense atmosphere of constant threat and resource scarcity. Ammunition will be scarce, and enemies will be more formidable, particularly in the ominous darkness of the night forest. Fleeing will once again be a strategic choice.
Dying Light: The Beast is poised to be a pivotal chapter for the franchise. It will resolve lingering mysteries, provide closure to Crane's story, and set the stage for the future of the series. Mark your calendars for the summer 2025 release.
