While Dying Light: The Beast may have started out as DLC, it's grown and spun out into a standalone title that, as director Tymon Smektala told Play Magazine, "remotivated" Techland's efforts on the Dying Light series.
Bringing back original protagonist Kyle Crane for a roughly 20-hour adventure is art director Katarzyna Tamcka's dream project. She says she wants to "focus on this and soak in every moment." It's not everyday your Dying Light 2 DLC plans leak to the public and you decide to spin it out into a full-blown standalone title.
