As excitement builds around the upcoming open-world zombie game Dying Light: The Beast, developer Techland has released another short video sharing five essential tips to help players stay alive in their new setting, called the Caster Woods.
Among the suggestions are keeping your vehicle fueled, activating safe zones, and carefully choosing when to fight or flee. The devs also recommend stealth over brute force when facing heavily-armoured enemies, and emphasise moving slowly and quietly at night to avoid attracting strong and formidable zombies, which only roam when the sun sets.
These tips would also work in previous Dying Light games, apart from the one regarding vehicles, which suggests that Techland didn't try to reinvent the gameplay, but rather improve on what they had, which is a solid idea, in my opinion.
The gameplay, parkour and combat in particular, were always great in Dying Light, and judging by the pre-release footage we've got so far, it does see more fleshed out and improved over the previous entries.
One of the new features that I'm really eager to try is, of course, the vehicles. For the first time ever, we'll get to drive around in a Dying Light game and even though previous games didn't really need vehicles due to the world design, Caster Woods does seem more flat and open, which is perfect for vehicles.
Mowing down zombies with a powerful 4x4 drive is always a fun activity. Let's just hope the devs don't ruin it with overly increased vehicle damage when hitting an enemy.
Dying Light: The Beast releases on August 22, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
