Dying Light: The Beast is a game about what it’s like to try to parkour your way through an undead apocalypse after you’ve spent years getting injected with zombie juice. Based on the reactions and vengeful affect of returning Dying Light 1 protagonist Kyle Crane, it seems the juice was bad. And yet it helps you kill zombies, so it might be good? Such are the fascinating moral complexities offered by zombie fiction.
Perhaps the true beast… is humanity!? Or it’s the guy with experimental zombie super strength who can rip mutants apart with his bare hands. Hard to say.
If you’re desperate to learn when you’ll be able to go Beast mode in the latest Dying Light, don’t fret: You won’t have to endure years of zombie DNA experimentation. We’ve got the launch times for Dying Light: The Beast collected below.
