Geoff Keighley Hints at ‘The Beast’—Dying Light Game Connection

Geoff Keighley has teased an upcoming reveal at Gamescom's Opening Night Live, hinting at a potential new installment in the Dying Light series titled "Dying Light: The Beast." A live-action video depicts a woman fleeing a terrifying creature, aligning with rumors of a new trademark application filed by Techland for the Dying Light franchise. Speculation is rife about whether this new title will be a major sequel, a smaller expansion, or something different entirely. The reveal is set for August 20, 2024, alongside information on other anticipated titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Civilization 7.

"Dying Light: The Beast" is speculated to be a new entry in the Dying Light series, but details on whether it is a full sequel, expansion, or spin-off have not yet been confirmed. More information is expected during the Gamescom show on August 20, 2024.

The Dying Light franchise, known for its unique blend of parkour mechanics and zombie survival horror, has garnered a dedicated fanbase since the release of the original game in 2015. Dying Light 2, the latest installment, launched in February 2022 and quickly became a commercial success, selling over five million copies in its first month. Techland, the developer, has recently been acquired by Tencent, adding further intrigue to the future of the Dying Light series.
