Techland just unveiled an exciting new addition to the Dying Light series at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Dying Light The Beast. This standalone zombie adventure is set in the eerie, post-apocalyptic Castor Woods, a location that was once a tourist haven but now teems with the undead.
The game offers players an intense experience with over 18 hours of gameplay, putting them back into the role of Kyle Crane, the legendary hero who returns after being subjected to years of horrific experiments.
A Standalone Adventure in Castor Woods
In the game, Crane is on a mission to seek revenge on those who tormented him, but as the story unfolds, he realizes that much more is at stake than he initially thought.
So it’s not a DLC for the second game? Weird but ok.

The game’s world is tightly crafted, offering players a rich environment to explore. Castor Woods features a mix of natural landmarks, small villages, and industrial complexes that players can traverse using their parkour skills or by hopping into an abandoned vehicle.
Whether players are navigating rooftops or speeding through the woods in a 4×4, the setting is designed to keep players on their toes. The diverse landscape not only adds to the game’s challenge but also enhances the overall experience, making every one of these moments in the game feel unique and unpredictable.
For those who own the Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition, Techland is offering Dying Light The Beast at no extra cost, making it a generous reward for the community that has been eagerly waiting for new content.
Survive the Night and Unleash the Beast Within
Dying Light The Beast introduces a new layer of gameplay with Kyle Crane’s beast-like powers, which are a result of the brutal experiments he endured. The zombie DNA fused with his own allows Crane to unleash a terrifying power that can turn combat in his favor.
This new ability isn’t just a curse though, it’s a tool that players will need to master if they hope to survive the horrors of the game, especially after sundown. As night falls, the danger increases, with the undead becoming more aggressive and relentless.
The game also supports up to 4-player co-op, allowing friends to team up and face the challenges together. Whether players choose to go it alone or with others, the game offers a thrilling experience for all fans of the series.
Dying Light The Beast is set to release on both PC and consoles, with more details, including the release date, to be revealed later this year. As fans step back into Kyle Crane’s shoes, prepare for an adventure that is not just about survival, but about becoming a hero once again.
