Dying Light: The Beast is a standalone installment in the acclaimed open-world zombie survival horror franchise. It marks the return of Kyle Crane, the protagonist from the original Dying Light, now a human-monster hybrid on a quest for vengeance against a mysterious villain known as 'The Baron'. Set in the sprawling, handcrafted open world of Castor Woods, the game is a compact, focused narrative experience that returns to the gritty and intense survival horror elements of the first game. Featuring a refined parkour and combat system, a new 'Gore Nodes' dismemberment system, and a powerful 'Beast Mode' mechanic that unleashes Crane's inner monster, the game promises to be the 'best Dying Light game to date'.
