Dying Light: The Beast is a Statement for its 10th Anniversary, but More Dying Light Games Are on the Horizon

by

In the forthcoming action-survival horror game titled “Dying Light: The Beast“, we find ourselves reunited with the initial game’s hero, Kyle Crane, who has been imprisoned for a significant period by an elusive and enigmatic figure called The Baron. During his confinement, Kyle underwent various mental and physical transformations, some more extreme than others, which players must learn to adapt to as they assist Kyle in his daring escape attempt.

Recently, Game Rant had a chat with franchise head Tymon Smektala about potential impacts of “Dying Light: The Beast” on the series as a whole. Smektala emphasized the significant role this installment plays for the franchise and confirmed that the return of protagonist Kyle Crane was a plan all along. Additionally, he mentioned that plans for future “Dying Light” games have already been thought up.

Kyle Crane Was Always Planned to Return to the World of Dying Light

The Beast, a game that seems to tell his story from the beginning.

Given that we expected him to come back eventually, we simply expedited our plans slightly. In the long run, everything turned out as planned. Can you think of a more fitting way to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Dying Light than by welcoming back the original hero of Harran?

Dying Light: The Beast Will Form a Solid Base For Future Entries in the Series

As a dedicated fan eagerly awaiting the release of “Dying Light: The Beast”, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation about what the future holds for this beloved franchise. Even before the game officially drops, it’s clear that Techland is already thinking ahead, recognizing the strategic importance of releasing “The Beast” in the same year as Dying Light’s 10th anniversary.

It’s not hard to see why they’re so optimistic. This milestone year presents a unique opportunity to solidify the foundation for future entries and set the stage for even greater success. Of course, with “The Beast” currently commanding all our attention and effort, we gamers can only dream about what’s in store for us down the line. But one thing is certain: there’s plenty of room left for Dying Light to grow, which bodes well for its future. Here’s hoping for a continued evolution that keeps us hooked for years to come!

When asked how the team feels about the game’s launch, Smektala revealed:

With a blend of optimism and apprehension, we’re feeling rather positive and assured about Dying Light: The Beast. It reminds us of the emotions we experienced prior to launching the original Dying Light. There’s an undeniable charm to this endeavor, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that players will appreciate it. For the Dying Light franchise, we hope Dying Light: The Beast serves as a powerful, resounding exclamation point, marking a significant milestone for the series’ 10th anniversary. We have numerous ideas for future Dying Light games and projects, so we eagerly anticipate that Dying Light: The Beast, along with its predecessors, will establish a robust base for these upcoming ventures.

Supporters of the series are bound to feel energized by Smektala’s statements. The realm of Dying Light expands more with each sequel, and it doesn’t seem to tire even after a decade. Techland has a deep understanding of their franchise and places great value on fan opinions, which can only strengthen the universe of Dying Light in both present and future projects.
