Call of the Beast Week 10

[p]There’s no better way to cross Castor Woods than by swinging through the air!

This week’s challenge invites you to travel as far as possible using your grappling hook. Gliding over this gorgeous valley beats holiday stress any day - someone tell Santa to upgrade from a sleigh.

Don’t forget: completing all goals this week helps the entire Beast Pack unlock every reward. And since it’s the season of giving, lend a hand to any Beasts who missed a week so they can claim theirs too.

Goal #2: Cover 105,000,000 km with the grappling hook[/p][p]Reward: Angel’s Blade

Hook your way to some unique and exclusive items![/p][p][/p]

Nightmare Experience in Dying Light: The Beast

[p]Nightmare Experience is a new difficulty level for Dying Light: The Beast - designed for seasoned players looking for serious survival experience. It makes Human and Infected enemies stronger, smarter, more aggressive, reacting faster to your actions using their heightened senses. Some Dark Zones may now include Volatiles during the day and gameplay becomes more challenging as resources are limited and they need to be managed more carefully.[/p][p][/p][p]This update also introduces a new Alpha Volatile. This is the most powerful infected in Castor Woods, and the most intelligent Volatile in the history of Dying Light. It tracks your scent, ignores the UV light from your flashlight, and can hunt and follow you across the map until you reach a safe zone or manage to kill it. He’s smart and dangerous, enforcing a careful and strategic playstyle during the night.[/p][p][/p][p]On top of that Nightmare Experience brings new survival mechanics. The Hunger System affects your stamina, health regeneration, and combat efficiency. The longer you ignore hunger, the stronger the penalties become. Additionally the flashlight drains over time and will dim and flicker as the battery gets low, requiring you to craft or find replacements.[/p][p][/p][p]Completing the hardest challenges in this difficulty rewards you with exclusive items, including unique charms, and a special outfit, and a new vehicle skin.[/p]

Techland is hiring for "a new online experience in the Dying Light franchise" just three months after launching The Beast

While Techland has a storied, 25-year history making all manner of games, the last decade has been defined by Dying Light. With the release of Dying Light The Beast in September, it's now three successful entries deep into one of the best zombie games series around, but its attempts to diversify took a hit earlier in the year when it canceled two upcoming projects mid-development. However, Techland didn't lay any employees off, instead moving them to other teams and stating it still had "a number of games in [its] pipeline." Now, we may potentially be seeing early signs of one of them, as a job posting on the developer's website mentions "a new online experience in the Dying Light franchise."
