Fans of the *Dying Light* series have long been curious about the fate of Kyle Crane following the events of *Dying Light: The Following*. With the upcoming release of *Dying Light: The Beast*, players will finally uncover the much-anticipated answers to Crane's story. According to Tymon Smektała, the franchise director, this installment serves not only as the conclusion to Crane's narrative but also as a crucial link between *Dying Light* and *Dying Light 2: Stay Human*.
Parkour, a signature feature of the series, faced new challenges with the transition to a rural environment in *The Beast*. The development team reimagined movement mechanics, integrating industrial structures alongside natural elements such as trees and cliffs. This innovative approach resulted in a dynamic, setting-adapted mechanic that maintains the essence of the franchise.
While *Dying Light 2: Stay Human* leaned more into action, *The Beast* aims to recapture the original's sense of perpetual danger and resource scarcity. Ammunition will be scarce, and enemies will be more lethal, particularly in the shadowy depths of the night forest. Fleeing will often be the wisest choice.
*Dying Light: The Beast* is set to be a pivotal installment for fans of the series. It will resolve lingering mysteries, conclude Crane's arc, and set the stage for the future of the franchise. Mark your calendars for the summer 2025 release.
