Announced at Gamescom 2024, the next Dying Light game already seems to be on its way to becoming a huge success after the second work was obviously not unanimous.
Due to the very complicated development and many big unfulfilled promises, the second work in Techland’s zombie and parkour franchise was a cold shower for many players. Unfortunately, even though the studio did its best to catch up, the damage was already done. Despite everything, the announcement of Dying Light: The Beast, a standalone game with the return of the main character from the first game, obviously had a small success. Is a return to Techland and the franchise in sight?
The next Dying Light reports on beastly figures
Upon its release in 2015, the first Dying Light was well received. Its very dynamic gameplay, its very sophisticated technical aspect and its day-night cycle, which radically changed the behavior of zombies, caused a stir. However, seven years later, the sequel had the opposite effect, with very disappointing results, which was due to Techland’s overly ambitious ambitions. Having clearly learned from its mistakes, the studio returns to us at Gamescom 2024 with the announcement of Dying Light: The Beast.
We find Kyle Crane, the hero of the first game, 13 years later. He has changed a lot now and his bite in the first work has visibly changed him a lot, giving him bestial powers to the detriment of his humanity. The prospect appears to have struck a chord with fans of the franchise and players in general. So much so that ten months after its announcement, Dying Light: The Beast already has more than1 million wish list additions
Techland shared the news with great excitement via the franchise’s official X.com account, with a message full of gratitude. “ Thank you for these numbers in less than 10 weeks. This makes it the most wishlisted game in such a short time in the entire franchise. We’re thrilled by your incredible support and can’t wait to tell you more in the future! “. Remember that Dying Light The Beast does not yet have a fixed release date, a priori for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
