Techland Unveils New Standalone Game Dying Light: The Beast at Gamescom
Following a teaser from Geoff Keighley, Techland officially revealed Dying Light: The Beast at Gamescom Opening Night Live.
The trailer confirms the return of Kyle Crane as the protagonist in a brand-new open-world setting, with around 20 hours of gameplay. Dying Light: The Beast is a standalone title set in the post-apocalyptic Castor Woods, where players control Crane, who escapes after 13 years of imprisonment and experimentation. Now armed with zombie-infused DNA, he seeks revenge on those responsible. The "beast" in the title refers to both a monstrous creature haunting the woods and Crane's own newfound powers.
The game supports four-player co-op with shared progression, as well as solo play.
