One of the biggest surprises from Gamescom Opening Night Live, Dying Light: The Beast is a brand new installment in Techland's open-world zombie franchise. Though it originally began life as a story DLC for Dying Light 2, Dying Light: The Beast is now a fully-fledged standalone adventure, apparently containing over 18 hours of content and a wealth of new features. But that isn't the most exciting aspect of Dying Light: The Beast.
