Following the enigmatic events of Dying Light: The Following, the fate of protagonist Kyle Crane has long been a topic of intrigue among fans. With the upcoming release of Dying Light: The Beast, players will finally unravel the mystery surrounding Crane's destiny. Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, has emphasized that this installment not only serves as the definitive conclusion to Crane's narrative but also plays a crucial role in bridging the storylines of Dying Light and its sequel, Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
Parkour, a defining feature of the series, faced new challenges with the shift to a rural environment in The Beast. The development team innovated movement mechanics, integrating elements such as industrial structures, trees, and cliffs to create a dynamic and environment-specific experience that stays true to the spirit of the franchise.
While Dying Light 2: Stay Human leaned more towards action, The Beast reintroduces the intense atmosphere of constant danger and resource scarcity. Players will find ammunition in short supply, and the threat from enemies will be heightened, particularly in the ominous darkness of the night forest. Fleeing from danger will often be the wisest strategy.
Dying Light: The Beast is poised to be a pivotal addition to the franchise. It promises to resolve lingering questions, bring closure to Kyle Crane's story, and set the stage for future developments within the series. Fans can mark their calendars for the anticipated summer 2025 release.
