๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome back! Today, Iโ€™m sharing insights from an interview with Tyon Smala, the franchise director of Dying Light: The Beast.

๐Ÿ” The game started as a DLC for Dying Light 2 but evolved into a standalone game due to a major story leak. It now features over 18 hours of gameplay.

๐ŸŽฎ A key highlight is the return of Kyle Crane, the main character from the first game. His return was made possible by the original voice actor, Roger Craig Smith, who agreed to reprise his role.

๐Ÿš€ The shift from DLC to a full game allowed the team to experiment with new ideas, expanding the world with more locations, characters, and secrets.

๐Ÿ•’ The Beast is set 13 years after Dying Light, and Crane has undergone significant changes. His return involves themes of revenge and a central mystery: Who is the real Beast?

๐Ÿ’ช Crane starts as an experienced survivor, but due to experiments, he now has beast-like abilities with a dedicated skill tree, essential for surviving evolved zombie threats.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Co-op gameplay will be a major feature, allowing up to four players to experience the story together, with more details to come.

โœจ Iโ€™m excited to see how these elements come together in Dying Light: The Beast! Share your thoughts on Kyle Craneโ€™s return in the comments!
