The fate of Kyle Crane has been a lingering question among fans since the events of Dying Light: The Following. With the upcoming release of Dying Light: The Beast, players will finally uncover the answers they've been waiting for. Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, emphasizes that this installment is not only the conclusion of Crane's story 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 innovated movement mechanics, integrating industrial structures alongside natural elements such as trees and cliffs. This approach resulted in a dynamic and environment-adapted system that retains the essence of the franchise.
Stay Human leaned more towards action, but The Beast aims to reinstate the constant sense of threat and resource scarcity. Players will encounter limited ammunition and face even more lethal enemies, particularly within the ominous darkness of the night forest. Fleeing will often be the safest strategy.
Dying Light: The Beast is poised to be a pivotal chapter for the franchise's fans. It will resolve lingering questions, provide closure to Crane's story, and set the stage for the future of the series. The game is slated for release in the summer of 2025.
