Dying Light: The Beast receives its release date and a new gameplay trailer

Have a look at Dying Light: The Beast’s gameplay premiere

At Summer Games Fest, Techland has unveiled the release date of Dying Light: The Beast alongside a “Gameplay Premiere” trailer for the game. It’s coming to PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5 on August 22nd, with the PC version landing on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

In The Beast, players will control Kyle Crane, the protagonist of the original Dying Light. Having survived years of experimentation, Kyle has a mix of human and zombie DNA. Because of this, he has to struggle against his “inner beast” and battle to get revenge on those who experimented on him.

Like prior games in the series, The Beast features parkour elements and gameplay that evolve throughout the game’s day/night cycle. The most dangerous zombies only come out at night, turning the tables on players who stay out after dark.

In The Beast, players aren’t confined to a city landscape. While there will be plenty of roof-running, there will also be open areas with drivable vehicles. If you want some off-road zombie ploughing experience, this game has you covered.

Online, The Beast will be playable with up to four players in co-op. This will enable players to experience the game’s story together and employ unique strategies to overcome larger foes.
