Dying Light: The Beast is a thrilling standalone zombie adventure set in the post-apocalyptic Castor Woods, a once-popular tourist destination. After 13 years of enduring experiments, you escape and hunt down your captors to seek retribution, only to discover there’s far more at stake. The place is not densely populated anymore, but there are still people and factions, as well as plenty of horrors to discover. Some will ask for your help, others only want to kill you. On the top, there is a mysterious creature on the loose that has turned the woods into its personal hunting grounds.

You are Kyle Crane, the man whose courage during the initial outbreak saved many from a fate far worse than death. After more than a decade in captivity, you find yourself in a world that’s changed, but not for the better. Now, you’ll need to use all the survival skills that kept you alive to save even more innocent lives.

Welcome to Castor Woods! This once-bustling tourist destination is now very different and full of zombies. Still featuring natural landmarks, small villages and industrial complexes, the setting offers diverse traversal options, whether it’s using your parkour skills to gain the upper hand on your enemies or hopping into an abandoned 4x4 to outrun the horrors of the night.

They caged you like an animal. Years of brutal experimentation took its toll, but the zombie DNA and yours are now intertwined so that you are able to unleash a beast-like power. It flows through your veins. No one can take it from you. Use it. And you’ll discover it’s not just a curse.

The day brings many possibilities to explore the region and make the most of your time while the sun is still shining. But after sundown, the laws of nature take their course. Darkness tends to bring out the worst in the horde, leaving you with no other choice but to run, hide, or fight.

Sometimes it’s best to stick to a group. You never know what you might come across on your adventure. Team up in up to 4-player co-op, or ride solo if you have the guts to take it all on your own.
