New high-quality zombie games tend to come few and far between these days, which is why their arrivals are looked forward to passionately by fans of the genre — especially if they're major AAA releases that bring hours and hours of gameplay content.
Such is why excitement is high for Dying Light: The Beast, the third entry in Techland's long-running, fan-favorite Dying Light franchise, a follow-up to 2022's Dying Light 2: Stay Human, and a direct sequel to the original 2015 title. It puts players back in the shoes of the first game's protagonist Kyle Crane 13 years later as he hungers for revenge against the Baron, a scientist that experimented on him for years with the Harran Virus.
