- Dying Light: The Beast has become another AAA game from Techland over the course of development.
- As per the series’ director, the game offers nearly 40 hours of total content.
- Techland is confident that the title will live up to fan expectations.
The Dying Light series has been around for a while, with Dying Light 2 being supported extensively since its release in 2022. Last year, Techland also announced Dying Light: The Beast, a new entry in the franchise meant to offer a linear experience with a different flavor of zombie hunting thrills and terrors.
Although Dying Light: The Beast initially began development as a smaller project for Techland, the studio states that the title has grown in scope.
Why it matters: Techland is currently busy with multiple projects, in addition to supporting Dying Light 2. Therefore, fans expected its upcoming release to be much smaller in scope than it seems to be.
As per series director Tymon Smekta, Techland’s upcoming title has grown in scope so much that it can be considered yet another AAA offering from the studio. In fact, the director has referred to this release as Dying Light 3, even if the title may suggest otherwise.
According to the developer, Dying Light: The Beast offers up to 37 hours of content, 20 of which are taken up by the story mode. For context, Dying Light 2 offered a similar amount of story content when it launched in 2022.
We treat it as a proper AAA release.
Tymon Smekta also discussed the game’s $60 launch price, stating confidently that this price would be more than justified at release.
According to recent previews, Dying Light’s latest iteration offers more mayhem and gunplay, making it quite different from its predecessors. Fans can expect these new tools and more to make for a fresh experience once the game officially launches in August.
