What is Dying Light: The Beast?

Embrace your monstrous abilities to fight your way into freedom, and a fallen world.

You are Kyle Crane. After being captured by the Baron and enduring his painful experiments for years, you escape. But the scars remain.

Left on the edge of humanity with both human and zombie DNA, you struggle to control your inner beast and the conflict that comes with it. But you’ll need to, if you want to get your revenge on the man who did this to you.

A unique blend of open world and action survival horror, Dying Light: The Beast is set in the beautiful, yet dangerous valley of Castor Woods that’s now overrun with zombies rather than tourists. To take your former captor down, you’ll need to form fragile alliances, as well as utilise all the combat and traversal options in your arsenal.

But be careful: out here, each step is a fight for survival, especially once the sun sets and the tension heightens as the true horrors come out at night!

Key features

Why you should play Dying Light: The Beast

Half beast, half survivor

Become Kyle Crane, a unique hero with the DNA of a soldier and a ravenous monster coursing through his veins. Switch between two playstyles and experience an inner conflict between man and mutant, leading to the ultimate embrace of unstoppable strength.

Run the rooftops, rule the roads

Feel the rush of first-person parkour as you jump from rooftop to rooftop. Traverse any obstacle using a movement system accessible to all, yet rewarding those who master it. However, beware the night that unleashes horrors that leave you with only three choices: run, hide or fight for your life.

Survive as one, or with others

Band together in up to 4-player co-op to take on the dangers of Castor Woods. Use shared progression to conquer the entire adventure side by side, as you face grisly enemies, scavenge for resources and save each other from the brink of death.
