During Gamescom’s Opening Evening Live 2024, the enigmatic “Beast” was finally unveiled to the public, a revelation preceded by the tantalizing “The Beast is Coming” teaser broadcast the previous day.
For those unfamiliar, the reference was Geoff Keighley’s live-action teaser for a horror game, showcasing a woman’s harrowing experience in the woods, culminating in the ominous phrase: “The Beast Is Coming.” Finally, clarity prevails; we’ve uncovered the underlying purpose.
A rebranded iteration of the popular survival horror series, Dying Light, was released in a significantly unorthodox manner for the franchise, featuring a group of well-trained, heavily-armed operatives executing a calculated approach towards the hideout of an unknown, yet unmistakably hostile entity. As soon as it becomes apparent that the preceding team has been mercilessly decimated.
While deviating from the norm, this trailer’s reveal would be unsettlingly fitting for a classic horror game experience. The twist comes full circle with the sudden appearance of a monstrous, hulking figure. Assuming we are aberrant, yet eerily, abominable beings – twisted remnants of humanity, now succumbing to the unrelenting allure of death’s abyss?
So, there you go. Eagle-eyed followers correctly predicted the connection between the teaser and Techland’s recently filed trademark for “Dying Light: The Become Human”, a strong indication that the new game is indeed titled Dying Light: The Become Human.
There is currently no announced launch date available for Dying Light: The Beasts, with players instead instructed to “wishlist now!” if they’re eager to learn more about the upcoming title.
