Dying Light: The Beast Gets Update

The fate of Kyle Crane has remained one of Dying Light’s biggest mysteries since The Conclusion expanded the game's universe with The Following. Now, the franchise is setting the stage for The Beast—a crucial chapter that will finally unveil the truth behind Crane’s story while bridging the gap between Dying Light and its sequel, Stay Human, as confirmed by franchise director Tymon Smektała.

Reinventing Parkour for a Rural Landscape

Movement mechanics have always been central to Dying Light, but The Beast’s shift to rural environments brought fresh hurdles for the development team. By incorporating industrial ruins and natural obstacles like cliffs and dense forests, they refined parkour to fit this new setting while staying true to the series’ signature fluidity.

Return to Survival Horror Roots

Where Stay Human leaned into action-packed combat, The Beast rekindles the tension of scarcity and peril. Bullets will be scarce, zombies deadlier, and the pitch-black woods at night will force players back into their instinctual survival mindset—escape is often the wiser strategy than standing your ground.

Dying Light: The Beast isn’t just a resolution—it’s a turning point. With answers to long-standing mysteries, a definitive conclusion to Crane’s journey, and new groundwork for the franchise’s future, this release is poised to be a major milestone for fans. The game is set to launch in summer 2025.
