Dying Light: The Beast will debut at Gamescom 2024’s Opening Night Live show
A particularly cool surprise was unleashed during the Opening Night Live presentation of Gamescom 2024, when developer Techland announced Dying Light The Beast with a debut trailer.
This spin-off looks to be a shorter experience, clocking in at around 18-20 hours. The game sees the return of protagonist Kyle Crane, who appears to have developed some new beastly powers. Additionally, the game looks to retain the high-quality parkour action and zombie-slaying combat that the series is known for.
According to a press release from Techland, Dying Light: The Beast is “a thrilling, standalone zombie adventure set in a tightly-crafted rural region.” The region, Castor Woods, is, as expected, overrun with zombies and all manner of beasts. Techland says that with “natural landmarks, small towns, and industrial complexes, the setting offers a variety of traversal options, whether it’s using your parkour skills to gain the upper hand over your enemies or jumping into an abandoned 4×4 to escape the horrors of the night.”
