The fate of Kyle Crane has remained one of gaming's greatest mysteries since the events of Dying Light: The Following. With the upcoming release of The Beast, players will finally receive the closure they've been waiting for. Franchise director Tymon Smektała reveals this installment serves both as Crane's definitive conclusion and as the critical bridge connecting Dying Light with its sequel, Stay Human.
Evolving Movement in New Environments
While parkour remains the series' signature feature, transitioning to rural landscapes presented fresh design challenges. Developers reimagined traversal mechanics by integrating industrial structures and natural formations like trees and cliff faces. The result is a dynamic movement system that stays true to the franchise's identity while adapting to the new setting.
Returning to Survival Horror Roots
Where Stay Human emphasized action, The Beast revives the original's tension through restrained resources and heightened danger. Limited ammunition returns, while enemies grow more lethal - particularly in the shadowy nocturnal forests. Players will rediscover the heart-pounding reality that fleeing often becomes the wisest survival strategy.
Dying Light: The Beast stands as a pivotal moment for the franchise, resolving unanswered questions while establishing future narrative foundations. This long-awaited chapter concludes Crane's journey while setting the stage for what comes next. Mark your calendars for summer 2025 when this thrilling installment arrives.
