The mysterious fate of Kyle Crane following the events of Dying Light: The Following has long intrigued fans. With the release of The Beast, players will finally unravel the long-awaited answers to Crane's story. Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, emphasizes that this is not only the conclusion of Crane's journey 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 in The Beast. The development team had to reimagine movement mechanics, integrating industrial structures alongside natural elements such as trees and cliffs. This resulted in a dynamic and setting-adapted mechanic that stays true to the spirit of the franchise.
While Stay Human leaned more into action, The Beast aims to revive the intense atmosphere of constant threat and resource scarcity. Ammunition will be scarce, and enemies will be even more lethal, particularly in the darkness of the night forest. Fleeing from danger will once again be the wisest strategy.
Dying Light: The Beast is poised to be a pivotal chapter for fans of the series. It will resolve lingering questions, provide closure to Crane's narrative, and set the stage for the future of the franchise. Mark your calendars for the summer of 2025, when The Beast is set to be released.
