In this exclusive preview, Dying Light: The Beast Game Director Nathan Lemaire details the arsenal players will command in Techland's upcoming standalone title, which blends first-person melee combat, shooting, and parkour within an open-world action-adventure. You again step into the role of Kyle Crane, now driven by vengeance against those who subjected him to experiments, transforming him into the titular Beast.
The development team is focused on ensuring weapons—from flamethrowers to brutal, sometimes rusted, melee tools—have a greater environmental impact than in the first two Dying Light games. Watch the new trailer above, and if you missed our 30-minute extended gameplay reveal, catch it below.
