Plot Insights
Fans of the franchise might be astonished to learn about Kyle Crane’s return, especially considering the conclusion of The Following, which hinted at his demise. However, details about his comeback add an intriguing twist to the narrative.
The official synopsis on Steam describes the game as “a standalone zombie adventure set in the post-apocalyptic Castor Woods, a once-thriving tourist hub. After 13 years of captivity and experimentation, players escape and embark on a quest for vengeance, only to uncover deeper stakes involved.”
While precise plot elements remain under wraps, it is clear that themes of revenge and redemption will play a central role in Crane’s journey after his transformation.
Voice Cast
Roger Craig Smith, known for his iconic roles as Ezio from Assassin’s Creed and Geralt in The Witcher, is returning to voice Kyle Crane. At this time, no additional cast members have been announced, but updates will follow as more information is revealed.
Gameplay Mechanics
True to franchise form, Dying Light: The Beast will feature adrenaline-pumping parkour mechanics, allowing players to navigate the environment with agility. The trailers give a glimpse of visceral combat and the franchise’s characteristic gore.
This installment promises to delve even deeper into an unconventional combat style, as Crane’s primal instincts come to the forefront. Hand-to-hand combat will be essential for overcoming both the undead and hostile humans lurking in the game world.
Free Access for Ultimate Edition Owners
Dying Light: The Beast was initially intended as DLC for Dying Light 2, so Techland announced that owners of Dying Light 2 Stay Human’s Ultimate Edition will receive The Beast at no additional charge upon its release.
