Dying light: the beast should see the return of the former protagonist of the Kyle Crane series, but the developer Techland said that fans should play the game to discover it.
In an interview with Techradar Gaming at the Summer Game Fest 2025, the director of franchise Tymon Smektała explained that one of the objectives of Dying light: the beast is to offer answers to “a number of unanswered questions”, especially why Kyle Crane returned.
At the end of Dying light: the followingPlayers receive two possible results for the character: Kyle will be fully infected or killed in a nuclear explosion.
Despite these ends, The beast Will Star Kyle again, but Smektała stressed that players will have to play the game to find out why.
“Play the game, play the game to get this answer. But in fact, that’s one of the goals,” said Smektała. “This is one of the types of things Dying light: the beastis that we want to answer a number of unanswered questions from previous games, and I say plural games in a significant and reasonable way. “”
Smektała said it was one of the reasons why The beast Has no connection story, because the team wanted the game to be canon and takes place in the same calendar as the previous games.
“There is continuity in all these matches,” he continued. “If we were to give players of the way they want to shape the story, it will be more difficult for us to have Kyle where we want him to have at the end of this game.
“So, it is therefore like a very canonical Kyle story that responds to everything that happens to him, before, after, the events of Dying light: the followingBut also places it a little in the future. “”
Smektała added that the next game will also have post-key scenes like MCU films which “will allude to certain things that will happen in the future”, but have given nothing.
Dying light: the beast should be launched on August 22 for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC. It was initially developed as downloadable content (DLC) Dying Light 2: Stay humanBut Techland announced last year that the project had become an autonomous title.
