The mystery surrounding Kyle Crane's fate post-Dying Light: The Following has been a burning question for fans, and with the release of The Beast, those questions will finally be answered. Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, emphasizes that this isn't just the conclusion of Crane's journey, but also a crucial link between the events 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. The developers had to creatively adapt the movement mechanics to incorporate industrial structures and natural landscapes such as trees and cliffs. This resulted in a dynamic, environment-specific mechanic that maintains the essence of the franchise.
Stay Human leaned more towards action, but The Beast will reintroduce the sense of perpetual danger and scarcity of resources. Ammunition will be scarce, and enemies will pose an even greater threat, especially within the shadowy confines of the night forest. Fleeing will often be the safest strategy.
Dying Light: The Beast is poised to be a pivotal installment for fans. It will not only resolve lingering mysteries and bring Crane's story to a close but also set the stage for the future of the series. Mark your calendars for the summer of 2025, as this is when The Beast will be unleashed.
