A standalone Dying Light experience with Kyle Crane
Dying Light: The Beast is a standalone expansion featuring Kyle Crane, the beloved protagonist of the original Dying Light, in a new open-world survival horror experience. Set in a rural countryside overrun by a new strain of the virus, the game trades urban parkour for vast outdoor exploration with vehicles, wildlife, and fortifiable safe houses. Crane's new beast-like abilities from his infection give him superhuman powers that can be unleashed in devastating combat transformations. The day-night cycle returns with even more terrifying nocturnal threats that roam the countryside. Cooperative multiplayer supports the full campaign, and a new crafting system allows building and upgrading settlements. The game bridges the story between the original Dying Light and its sequel while delivering a complete standalone adventure.
