For fans eagerly awaiting the resolution of Kyle Crane's story from Dying Light: The Following, The Beast delivers the answers you've been seeking. Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, emphasizes that this game not only wraps up Crane's arc but also serves as a crucial link between Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
The series is renowned for its parkour mechanics, and transitioning to a rural environment presented unique challenges for the development team. They innovated by integrating industrial structures and natural features like trees and cliffs into the gameplay, resulting in a dynamic and environment-specific movement system that stays true to the spirit of the franchise.
Stay Human shifted the focus towards action, but The Beast aims to recapture the essence of constant danger and limited resources. With ammunition scarce and enemies more lethal, particularly in the dark, foreboding forests, fleeing will often be your safest bet.
Dying Light: The Beast is poised to be a pivotal installment for fans, providing closure to Crane's narrative, resolving unanswered questions, and setting the stage for the future of the series. Mark your calendars for the summer of 2025, when The Beast will hit the shelves.
