You are Kyle Crane, the legendary Hero of Harran. Held captive and experimented on for more than a decade, you manage to break free!
Hunt your captors through the new setting of Castor Woods, all while helping those in need. As you find out more details of what's been going on here, you begin to realize there’s a lot more at stake than getting revenge…
It initially started during our work on DLC2, but a story leak made us rethink the narrative, the scope and the general approach. When we decided to make Kyle Crane the hero of Dying Light: The Beast, it gave us a powerful boost of inspiration. Like many of you, we really wanted to bring Kyle back to do justice to the hero of Harran. That's how Dying Light: The Beast was born - a self contained zombie survival adventure offering a new setting, new set of gameplay features and new story, culminating in a standalone, 18+ hours adventure.
No, rather than releasing another DLC for Dying Light 2 Stay Human, we’ve decided to expand the scope of DLC2 and develop it into standalone game, But rest assured - while we don’t have any plans for new DLCs at the moment, we’re still committed to our promise of 5 years post-launch support for the game including content drops and events. So stay tuned for updates!
Worry not, if you’ve never played Dying Light before, this standalone adventure presents a great introduction to the franchise. After years of captivity the world through the hero's eyes is as new to him as it is to you. And since it's based so much in the core pillars of the series, you will learn quickly what makes Dying Light so special.
We are grateful to our community that supported us since the launch of Dying Light 2 and has been patient with us. To show our appreciation, we will be offering Dying Light: The Beast at no extra cost to all owners of the Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition. We hope that upgrading your experience from a story DLC to a full standalone game will make up for the time you have been waiting.
Yes, we will be offering Dying Light: The Beast at no extra cost to all owners of the Dying Light 2 Stay Human Ultimate Edition. However, we will stop selling Ultimate Edition and Ultimate Upgrade by September 30, 2024. Everyone who owns Ultimate Edition by that time will be eligible to receive Dying Light: The Beast at no extra cost.
While we haven’t announced the release date and price just yet, we’re approaching the point of content completion and will share this info as soon as we are ready.
