Kyle Crane is back! Dying Light: The Beast has been released on all platforms

Dying Light: The Beast zombie action game has been released.

The new game from Polish studio Techland is already available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Serie and got full compatibility with Steam Deck. The developers fulfil a long-standing promise, so everyone who once bought the most expensive edition of Dying Light 2 will get The Beast for free.

Here's What We Know

Gamers are invited to return to a world filled with zombies, treacherous local leaders and a constant lack of resources. The game directly continues the story of the protagonist of the first part of Dying Light Kyle Crane. After the events of the 2014 game, he spent thirteen years in a secret laboratory, where he was genetically experimented on by a man nicknamed Baron. His goal was to create a perfect hybrid of zombie and human, but Crane was able to break free and now wants to take revenge on his enemy. As a result of his experiments, Crane's blood contains zombie DNA particles, giving him the ability to briefly transform into a monster while gaining immense physical strength - hence the subtitle The Beast.

In Dying Light: The Beast there is more open space than in the previous parts, and transport is available from the beginning of the passage. The developers kept RPG elements from the second part, but expanded survival mechanics, and the atmosphere of the game became darker and closer to horror.

Critics praised Dying Light: The Beast and gave the game the following scores:

• Metacritic - 78 points;
• Opencritic - 82 points with 91% of recommendations.
