Dying Light: The Beast game director Nathan Lemaire provides an in-depth look at the arsenal you’ll command in Techland’s highly anticipated standalone first-person melee/shooter/parkour experience. Once again, you step into the boots of Kyle Crane, now transformed and driven by a relentless quest for vengeance against those who experimented on him—turning him into the fearsome entity known as the Beast.
From roaring flamethrowers to brutal, rust-tinged melee weapons, the development team is pushing the boundaries of weapon impact, making each strike and explosion feel more consequential than ever before. The weapons aren’t just tools—they’re extensions of the chaos and destruction shaping the world around you, building on the legacy of the first two Dying Light titles with greater weight, feedback, and environmental interaction.
Watch the latest trailer above to see the devastating arsenal in action. Missed our exclusive 30-minute extended gameplay showcase? You can catch it below.
