Dying Light The Beast feels refreshing without losing the series' identity

Slick parkour, brutal melee combat, and plenty of zombies to pulverize - at first glance, Dying Light The Beast looks like just what the undead doctor ordered: more Dying Light. The thirst for the zombie-slaying open-world series has been immense over the past decade, and its third mainline entry is almost upon us. Once planned as DLC for Dying Light 2, starring the first game's beloved protagonist, Kyle Crane, The Beast has mutated into something much more ambitious. Ahead of its launch in a couple of months, I got to play a roughly 40-minute slice of The Beast at Summer Game Fest, and while it doesn't stray massively far from Techland's winning formula, some new additions and shakeups make for a more isolated, focused, and survival-oriented experience.

After sitting down with a full hour-long demo, I couldn’t help but feel excited by everything the new entry brings to the table.

From its fresh setting and terrifying new villain to grotesque mutations hungry for flesh, The Beast expands on the formula in all the right ways. Even better, the return of the series’ original protagonist adds an emotional punch that longtime fans will appreciate. Having played it, I can confidently say Dying Light: The Beast is shaping up to be one of the summer’s most anticipated releases—and I can’t wait for its arrival this August.

In Dying Light: The Beast, players are transported to Castor Woods, a new setting that trades the dense urban sprawl of past games for a more picturesque European tourist town, now scarred by infection. While... Read more
