Dying Light 2 The Beast Preview Hands on

In this hands-on preview, we explore Dying Light: The Beast, Techland’s standalone follow-up that ditches the city skylines and RPG bloat for a fog-choked, forested nightmare. Set in the haunting Castor Valley, this is a smaller, darker experience with tighter pacing, less faction noise, and more atmospheric dread. No loot grind here—just you, the infected, and the looming terror of the unknown.
