Going from a new expansion for Dying Light 2 Stay Human to a standalone game is never easy, but Dying Light: The Beast looks to have shaped up well. It’s out tomorrow for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, a day earlier than previously announced, so to help get new players up to speed, Techland has released a “Story So Far” video. Spoilers follow, so beware.
It essentially chronicles the tale of Kyle Crane in Dying Light and The Following expansion. As a mercenary venturing into Harran for the GRE, he learns the truth about the titular virus, evading the undead and working with residents of the Tower to fulfill his mission. After losing many friends, he ventures outside of the city to investigate rumors of a cure with the cult-like Children of the Sun.
Of course, things don’t pan out as expected, and one of two endings can occur. However, the video reveals that it was the GRE who captured him, leading to his imprisonment at the hands of the Baron.
Dying Light: The Beast picks up the plot several years later, with Kyle escaping and seeking revenge. For all the latest details, check out our feature.
