This morning saw a brand-new edition of Geoff Keighley’s annual Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase, kicking off the massive Gamescom show in Cologne, Germany with a couple of hours of new trailers, updates, world premiere announcements and more.
One of those brand-new announcements was a bit of a surprise with Dying Light: The Beast, a brand-new standalone game set in the Dying Light franchise that’s seemingly a smaller, tighter experience at roughly 20 hours and set in a new, rural region. The game will see the return of Kyle Crane, given new purpose (and power) after enduring years of horrible experiments, now ready to take his revenge. It looks suitably brutal, and strikes a much more intense tone than even Dying Light 2 and will feature four-player co-op.
Dying Light: The Beast is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC at an unannounced date, and despite being a standalone title will be free to anyone who owns the Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition.
Check out the new trailer below:
