Dying Light The Beast To Feature Linear Story Instead Of Choice-Based

Expert Verified By

Taking A Different Approach From The Last Release!

Story Highlights
  • Dying Light 2 The Beast will take a different story route from Dying Light 2.
  • It will reportedly take a much more linear approach instead of the last one’s choice-based system.
  • The standalone title is set to release on all platforms with no release date yet.

Techland recently announced a brand new Dying Light game at Gamescom. Titled The Beast, the game plays mostly like Dying Light 2, but some subtle differences distinguish it.

Dying Light The Beast will offer a linear story instead of the usual choice-based approach.

Why Does It Matter? The company’s most recent game, Dying Light 2, heavily influenced the choice-based story system—however, the new game shifts from this strategy.

Dying Light 2
Dying Light 2 had a very choice-based story.

Insider Gaming has released a new report highlighting some significant points about Techland’s upcoming release. The game also marks the return of Kyle Crane, the original game’s protagonist.

While the first game also integrated some choice-based options, the main storyline was primarily linear. Like the original, The Beast will keep the storyline linear, but it will be different from the sequel.

More details have also been revealed regarding the setting and the gameplay. It will have multiple biomes, including a forest, an old town and an industrial area.

Dying Light The Beast will be an 18-hour-long standalone title

Kyle Crane also makes a comeback after over 10 years. He is being voiced once again by the legendary Roger Craig Smith, who has voiced massive roles like Ezio Auditore and Chris Redfield. Additionally, Dying Light The Beast is an 18-hour gameplay experience that does not necessarily act as the next mainline game. It is mainly like a half-sequel or a glorified DLC.

The map isn’t too big either,r as it is almost the size of just The Old Villedor from Dying Light 2. The parkour is mostly the same but has been stealthy, and the environment and atmosphere have seen a significant overhaul.

Overall, the gameplay impressions seem quite positive as well. It will be available for all major platforms, and the release date is expected to be revealed later this year.
