Pre-order now to get the Hero of Harran Bundle
The Hero of Harran Bundle features a set of items that won’t just help you in Castor Woods, but also honors the legacy of the Dying Light franchise.
● Ultimate Survivor Outfit – Known as the Juggernaut outfit in Dying Light, this cool makeshift apocalyptic look was rewarded to the most dedicated survivors.
● Harran Combat Knife – A swift and deadly weapon, the zombie head engraving on the blade is a throwback to the original Dying Light’s box art.
● The Follower Crossbow – First found in Dying Light: The Following expansion, this crossbow is perfect for a stealthier approach.
● In Jade’s Memory Pistol – Jade Aldemir - she’s one of the reasons you made it out of Harran alive. With her likeness on the grip, think of her with every bullet you fire from this pistol.
● Castor Woods Patrol – Rescuing hikers from the woods and cats from trees was a breeze for this powerful beast. Now put it to the real test and see how it handles the zombie apocalypse!
Can’t wait to head into the zombie-apocalypse? The original Dying Light is up to 80% off and Dying Light 2: Stay Human is up 67% off for a limited time in June.
You are Kyle Crane. After being captured by the Baron and enduring his painful experiments for years, you escape. Left on the edge of humanity with both human and zombie DNA, you struggle to control your inner beast and the conflict that comes with it. But you’ll need to, if you want to get your revenge on the man who did this to you.
A unique blend of open world and action survival horror, Dying Light: The Beast is set in the beautiful, yet dangerous valley of Castor Woods that’s now overrun with zombies rather than tourists. To take your former captor down, you’ll need to form fragile alliances, as well as utilize all the combat and traversal options in your arsenal.
But be careful: out here, each step is a fight for survival, especially once the sun sets and the tension heightens as the true horrors come out at night!
HALF BEAST, HALF SURVIVOR
Become Kyle Crane, a unique hero with the DNA of a survivor… and a beast. Switch between two playstyles and experience a fierce inner conflict between man and monster, leading to the ultimate embrace of unstoppable strength.
PRIMAL BRUTALITY
Take the raw savagery of Dying Light’s combat to the extreme and push brutality beyond human limits as you crush skulls, rip heads off, and tear enemies in half as you struggle to control our hero's constantly evolving, rage-fueled, beast-like powers.
OWN THE DAY, FEAR THE NIGHT
A signature of the Dying Light series - the two vastly different experiences of day and night merge into one unforgettable whole. Scavenge and explore by day, mindful of the constant tension of the moving clock - as when the sun sets, the night unleashes horrors that leave you with only three choices: run, hide, or fight for your life.
RUN THE ROOFTOPS, RULE THE ROADS
Feel the rush of best-in-class first-person parkour as you jump from rooftop to rooftop and climb over any obstacle using a movement system accessible to all, yet rewarding to those who master it. Then take the wheel of an off-road vehicle and plow through hordes of zombies, enjoying the unparalleled freedom of open world traversal.
BEAUTIFUL ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE
Breathtaking next-gen visuals bring the handcrafted zombie apocalypse to life, where every detail tells a story of survival. Get lost in the majesty of the Swiss Alps-inspired valley of Castor Woods with various biomes - the touristic town, the industrial area, the national park, farm fields, the swamps - all full of beauty… and decay.
SHARE THE ADVENTURE
Band together in up to 4-player co-op to take on the dangers of Castor Woods, where every fight, every discovery and every twisting step of the story can be faced as a group. Use shared progression to conquer the entire adventure side by side, as you face relentless enemies, scavenge for resources and save each other from the brink of death.
