Dying Light: The Beast Pre-Order Bonuses

  • Ultimate Survivor Outfit – Known as the Juggernaut outfit in Dying Light, this cool makeshift apocalyptic look was rewarded to the most dedicated survivors.
  • Harran Combat Knife – A swift and deadly weapon, the zombie head engraving on the blade is a throwback to the original Dying Light’s box art.
  • The Follower Crossbow – First found in Dying Light: The Following expansion, this crossbow is perfect for a stealthier approach.
  • In Jade’s Memory Pistol – Jade Aldemir – she’s one of the reasons you made it out of Harran alive. With her likeness on the grip, think of her with every bullet you fire from this pistol.

Regarding the forthcoming game titled Dying Light: The Beast, players will find themselves assuming command of Kyle Crane once more. After the harrowing experiments by the Baron in the initial game, Kyle’s life has taken a dark turn. He now carries half-human and half-zombie genetic makeup, which torments him with unsettling impulses. His internal conflict persists as he pursues vengeance against his tormentor, making tenuous alliances in the process, as suggested by the game’s official summary.
