Light Franchise Director Tymon Smektaa has said that Dying Light: The Beast 
will answer a number of unanswered questions, including why Kyle Crane has 
returned Smektaa said The Beast doesn't have a branching narrative, because 
Techland wanted the game to be canon He also said that the game is "a very 
canonical Kyle story that answers everything that happens to him" 

 Dying Light: The Beast is set to see the return of former series protagonist 
Kyle Crane, but developer Techland has said that fans will need to play the 
game to find out. 

In an interview with TechRadar Gaming at Summer Game Fest 2025, Franchise 
Director Tymon Smektaa explained that one of the goals of Dying Light: The 
Beast is to offer answers to "a number of unanswered questions", including 
why Kyle Crane has returned. 

At the end of Dying Light: The Following , players are presented with two 
possible outcomes for the character: Kyle will be fully infected or killed in 
a nuclear explosion. 

Despite these endings, The Beast will once again star Kyle, but Smektaa 
emphasized that players will need to play the game to find out why. 

"Play the game, play the game to get that answer. But actually, that's what 
that's one of the goals," Smektaa said. "That's one of the kinds of things 
about Dying Light: The Beast , is that we want to answer a number of 
unanswered questions from previous games, and I say plural games meaningfully 
and reasonably." 

Smektaa said this is one of the reasons why The Beast doesn't have a 
branching narrative, because the team wanted the game to be canon and be set 
in the same timeline as the previous games. 

"There is a continuity in all of those games," he continued. "If we were to 
give players agency in terms of how they want to shape the story, then it 
will be harder for us to have Kyle where we want him to have at the end of 
this game. 

"So, so this is like a very canonical Kyle story that answers everything that 
happens to him, before, after, the events of Dying Light: The Following , but 
also sets him a little bit into the future." 

Smektaa added that the upcoming game will also have post-credit scenes like 
the MCU films that will "hint at some things that are going to happen in the 
future", but didn't give anything away. 

 Dying Light: The Beast is set to launch on August 22 for PS5 , Xbox Series X 
, Xbox Series S , and PC. It was initially being developed as downloadable 
content (DLC) for Dying Light 2: Stay Human , but Techland announced last 
year that the project had become a standalone title. You might also like...
