With Dying Light: The Beast, the legendary hero Kyle Crane returns

During the Opening Night Live at Gamescom, Techland unveiled Dying Light: The Beast, an exciting standalone adventure set in the Castor Forest — a post-apocalyptic zone overrun by zombies. This new chapter delivers over 18 hours of gameplay packed with intensity, as players take on the role of Kyle Crane, the legendary hero of the original Dying Light.

After 13 years of captivity and brutal experiments, Crane finds himself in a world profoundly changed and must use his abilities to survive and exact revenge on his captors. The Castor Forest, once a famous tourist destination, is now a dangerous place, inhabited by hostile survivors and a mysterious creature that has made the woods its hunting ground. One of the main new features is the ability to unleash the power of the "beast" now coursing through Crane’s veins, an ability born from the experiments he endured and which grants superhuman strength. The game also offers a co-op mode for up to 4 players, essential for tackling waves of zombies that become especially dangerous after dusk.

Dying Light: The Beast is being released as a DLC for Dying Light 2 Stay Human, but has evolved into a standalone experience. Owners of the Ultimate Edition of Dying Light 2 will receive this new title for free. The game will be available on PC and consoles PlayStation and Xbox, both of the latest and previous generation.
