Techland recently announced an August 22nd release date for Dying Light: The Beast alongside a gameplay trailer at Summer Game Fest, but they weren’t quite done. Yesterday, the studio shared a 30-minute gameplay walkthrough of the open-world zombie survival game, and it’s definitely worth a watch.
Dying Light: The Beast bring back original protagonist, Kyle Crane, who has been subjected to a decade of experimentation that granted him unusual powers has a half-human, half-zombie…thing. The new gameplay deep dive is our best look yet at what’s new in The Beast, including graphical improvements, a dynamic weather system, emergent gameplay opportunities, the brutal melee combat, and, of course, that lovely parkour system.
I stopped watching at the 11:30 mark, because I don’t need to see anything else – I’m in. I should probably find the time to finish Dying Light 2 while I wait for August 22nd, when Dying Light: The Beast releases on PC, PlayStation 5 (with PS5 Pro enhancements), and Xbox Series X|S.
