Dying Light: The Beast is officially launching one day earlier than the previously scheduled release date. The game also serves as a spinoff of the first title. It continues the story and brings fresh gameplay to the franchise.
What is Dying Light: The Beast?
Based on Steam, this upcoming title is Techland’s latest survival horror game. It features Kyle Crane as the protagonist. He is also a guy who has been transformed into a half-man, half-beast through experiments. As Crane, players must control the human and beast abilities. In particular, they have to build, explore, and survive in the zombie-infested Castor Woods.
On top of that, the game combines awesome parkour movements, brutal fighting, and exciting exploration. Players can also change between human and beast forms. It allows them to gain super strength and speed to defeat enemies. However, players must be careful at night in Castor Woods. It is extra dangerous! What makes things more interesting is that the darkness forces players to run, hide, or fight deadly zombies.
