Kyle is back in a frenzy! Participated in demo session of zombie action RPG 'Dying Light: The Beast” [gamescom]

``Dying Light: The Beast'' (PC / PS5 / Xbox Series This time, I attended a demo session at the gamescom business booth of Level Infinite, which is in charge of global sales.

According to Nathan Lemaire, the game director of "Dying Light: The Beast," this story takes place after the first major DLC, "Dying Light: The Following," and Kyle is the "Baron." The game begins when he is imprisoned by an organization run by a man who calls himself "The Baron" and is exposed as an experiment for 13 years, until he manages to escape. At present, it is unknown whether Kyle has been infected or has been instilled with some kind of ability, but his appearance has changed to something inhuman, and he has now become a zombie mutant and hybrid

.



The setting is the rural "Castres Forest", which was once a popular tourist destination. Filled with natural and man-made landmarks, small villages and industrial areas, players can use their parkour skills to overwhelm their enemies or use stealth to avoid zombies that go berserk at night. We survive by doing things like that.

Sometimes there are actions such as moving around using abandoned vehicles, and new skills and weapons also appear. Development is currently underway with the goal of having a total gameplay time of approximately 18 hours.

What was introduced in the demo session was that Kyle hears that an organization led by Baron is conducting some kind of new experiment, and he sets out to investigate to uncover the truth. A woman named "Olivia" comes through the intercom and gives a mission briefing, but she is said to be the person Kyle met when he escaped from Baron's facility.

During the mission, you can not only move around the map at high speed with parkour and dive at the zombies in front of you, but also avoid Volatile (an aggressive mid-boss zombie that only appears at night in the series) in the forest at night. However, there were times when I crouched down and made my way through the bushes.

In the factory area protected by Baron's subordinates, they move through high buildings such as silos to find scientists, activate their gas equipment, and lure the giant zombie mutants who have escaped from the research facility. We also saw developments.


Although Kyle's new abilities were not specifically mentioned, in addition to throwing a giant mutant, he jumps on the neck of a huge enemy and pulls out the head with force, just like in "God of War". I was also able to confirm the move.
Although the game focuses on close-range combat and avoiding being hit, the mechanics of firearms have been significantly upgraded, and there are scenes where you steal assault rifles from enemy soldiers and shoot them.


Although "Dying Light: The Beast" is not numbered, it is a standalone game rather than a DLC. In other words, it is a sequel that can be played without purchasing the main games ``Dying Light'' and ``Dying Light 2: Stay Human'', and is positioned as a spin-off work.

La Mer also said, ``Kyle is locked away for many years, so he doesn't know how the world has changed. Therefore, people who don't know about the previous series can play the game.'' ``I think you'll have fun learning about the world with Kyle,'' he said, indicating that he wouldn't have any problems trying this game out.

Scenes such as forests, factory ruins, and material storage areas give the impression that they are filled with a variety of environmental objects, and the scalability of the graphics means that the game will also be compatible with PS4 and Xbox One. As with the previous game, it is interesting that up to four players can play in co-op mode while unleashing the power of the beast. If you are interested in further updates, please keep an eye on it by adding it to your wishlist on the Steam store page.
