Since the gripping events of Dying Light: The Following, fans have been left pondering the fate of protagonist Kyle Crane. The release of Dying Light: The Beast finally brings closure to this long-standing mystery. Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, emphasizes that this isn't merely the end of Crane's journey but a pivotal link connecting the narratives of Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
Parkour, a signature element of the series, faces new challenges with the transition to a rural setting in The Beast. The development team has innovatively reimagined movement mechanics, integrating industrial structures alongside natural elements such as trees and cliffs. This results in a dynamic and environment-specific approach that maintains the essence of the franchise.
While Stay Human leaned more towards action, The Beast aims to reintroduce the intense atmosphere of constant danger and limited resources. Players will find ammunition scarce, and the enemies in the dark forest at night will be more lethal than ever, making evasion a preferred strategy once again.
Dying Light: The Beast is set to be a landmark installment for the franchise's fans. It not only answers unresolved questions and concludes Crane's story but also sets the stage for the future of the series. Mark your calendars for the summer of 2025, when The Beast is slated to launch.
