Community Reaction
Gaming community is very excited, prasing not only the bonuses but also the game’s darker atmosphere. Fans are especially thrilled about the return to the original gritty tone of Dying Light and Kyle Crane once again taking the lead role.
Last year’s Gamescom previews gave us an early look at what to expect from The Beast. As the title hints, the true beast is the player. After surviving imprisonment and cruel experiments, Crane has developed feral abilities that surface when he’s pushed to the edge.
His rage fuels these transformations – in gameplay terms, that means his beast powers activate after taking or dealing a significant amount of damage.
Dying Light The Beast release date is on 18 September. Pre-order now and don’t miss out on three exclusive rewards before launch.
