Dying Light: The Beast won't let you steer the story as Dying Light 2 did heavily, but that's actually a good thing, according to franchise director Tymon Smektała, who thinks players shouldn't have their choices discarded when a sequel canonizes an alternate version of events.
Speaking to GamesRadar+, Smektała said that there will be "no choice" this time around. "I think [linear storytelling] also allows us to be kind of a little bit more hands on and canonical in how we steer the future of the series," he explained. "When you give players choice, actually, to be fair, you shouldn't be saying what's canon and what's not."
