Last night's Game Awards featured a new trailer for Dying Light: The Beast, revealing the release window and introducing The Baron, a crucial character tied to Kyle Crane's past. If you missed the trailer, you can watch it below:
The Baron: Kyle Crane's Tormentor
The Baron is portrayed as a cruel and emotionless scientist, responsible for experimenting on Kyle Crane for over a decade. These experiments have given Crane beastlike powers but also fueled his rage and thirst for revenge. The Baron serves as a significant antagonist and a major threat in Dying Light: The Beast.
Balancing Rage and Survival
In addition to his quest for revenge, Kyle Crane has to navigate the dangerous world of Castor Woods while also trying to keep the local survivors and factions safe. His beastlike powers allow him to engage in intense combat and use the environment to his advantage. The game will feature diverse terrain, including forests, swamps, and cities, which players can navigate using parkour mechanics.
