Following the suspenseful ending of Dying Light: The Following, fans have been eagerly awaiting news on the fate of protagonist Kyle Crane. Their wait is over with the upcoming release of Dying Light: The Beast. According to Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, this game not only wraps up Crane's journey but also serves as a vital link between the events of Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
Parkour, a defining feature of the series, faced new challenges with the transition to a rural environment in The Beast. The development team ingeniously adapted the movement mechanics, integrating industrial structures alongside natural elements such as trees and cliffs. This results in a dynamic and setting-specific system that maintains the essence of the franchise's signature fluidity.
While Stay Human leaned heavily into action, The Beast reintroduces the intense atmosphere of constant danger and resource scarcity. Players will find ammunition in short supply, and the night-time forest will be teeming with more lethal adversaries. In this scenario, fleeing from danger will often be the wisest choice.
Dying Light: The Beast is poised to be a pivotal installment for the franchise's followers. It will not only provide closure to lingering mysteries, particularly Crane's story, but also set the stage for the series' future developments. Mark your calendars for the summer of 2025, as this eagerly anticipated release is set to hit the shelves.
