It’s been almost ten years since we last saw Dying Light protagonist Kyle Crane. Kidnapped by a sinister cult at the end of The Following expansion, the rugged mercenary has been subjected to countless twisted experiments. His DNA spliced with that of a zombie, in this upcoming instalment, he’s been transformed from an adept survivor into something more than human - the titular beast.
“Kyle was in a closed environment without any sunlight, in a bunker for more than a decade,” explains Dying Light: The Beast director Nathan Lemaire. “When he gets out, he’s probably pissed off. Also, a little bit scared and surprised. It’s a roller coaster of emotions.” Unleashed in the all-new open world environment of Castor Woods, Kyle’s aim is singular: enact bloody vengeance on The Baron, the powerful warlord behind his capture.
