New Insights into Dying Light: The Beast Revealed

Following the gripping events of Dying Light: The Following, the fate of protagonist Kyle Crane has remained one of the series’ most enduring mysteries—until now. With the upcoming release of Dying Light: The Beast, fans will finally receive the long-awaited answers they’ve been craving. As Tymon Smektała, Franchise Director, confirms, this isn’t just a conclusion to Crane’s journey—it’s a pivotal narrative bridge connecting Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human, enriching the lore for both longtime and new players.

Parkour has always defined the Dying Light experience, but the shift to a remote, rural environment in The Beast demanded innovation. Developers reimagined traversal mechanics to accommodate dense forests, rugged cliffs, and abandoned industrial structures. The result? A fluid, adaptive movement system that honors the franchise’s core while feeling fresh and uniquely suited to its haunting new setting.

Where Stay Human leaned into action-driven gameplay, The Beast returns to the series’ survival horror roots. Expect scarce resources, tightly rationed ammunition, and enemies that are faster, smarter, and far more dangerous—especially under the cover of night. In these woods, stealth and strategy often outweigh brute force. Sometimes, the smartest move is to run.

Dying Light: The Beast isn’t just another expansion—it’s a vital chapter in the franchise’s evolution. It resolves unanswered questions, brings Kyle Crane’s arc to a definitive close, and sets the stage for what’s next. Mark your calendars: the release is set for summer 2025.
