Play as Kyle Crane, a legendary hero who breaks free after years of brutal experiments. Now, he must realize there’s more at stake than just revenge.

Dying Light: The Beast is a thrilling 18+ hours standalone zombie adventure set in the post-apocalyptic Castor Woods, a once-popular tourist destination. After 13 years of enduring experiments, you escape and hunt down your captors to seek retribution, only to discover there’s far more at stake. 

While the region is not as populated as it once was, there are still people and factions here, as well as plenty of horrors. Some will ask for your help, others will want to kill you. And that’s not to mention the mysterious creature that’s turned the woods into its personal hunting grounds.

Techland announce the return of Dockets – a well established tradition since the original Dying Light, now reimagined for The Beast. Dockets are codes hidden in plain sight and a fun way to gain exclusive in-game rewards even before the game launches!

You’re getting rewards for watching (and re-watching, no one said we’re going to make it easy!) trailers, exploring social media, or digging into the lore. Your dedication doesn't go unnoticed, and with Dockets, it pays off big time! If you love discovering secrets, Dockets are your path to cool gear that will come in handy when you step into your Castor Woods adventure!

Some dockets are easy to find (hint: there might be more than one in the above tutorial video), others are well hidden. They might also have made their way into some older assets - so it’s worth rewatching earlier trailers and checking every combination of letters and numbers that seems to be out of place.

Whenever you spot a docket, head over here and enter it.

Key Features:

• BECOME THE LEGENDARY HERO: You are Kyle Crane, the man whose selflessness during the initial virus outbreak saved many from a fate worse than death. After more than a decade in captivity, you find yourself in a world that’s changed, and not for the better. Now, you’ll need to use the survival skills that kept you alive all those years ago to save even more innocent lives.
• EXPLORE A TIGHTLY-CRAFTED OPEN WORLD: Welcome to Castor Woods! This once-bustling tourist destination is home to a diminishing number of survivors and an increasing population of zombies. Featuring natural landmarks, small villages and industrial complexes, the setting offers diverse traversal options, whether it’s using your parkour skills to gain the upper hand on your enemies or hopping into an abandoned 4x4 to outrun the horrors of the night.
• UNLEASH THE BEAST TO SURVIVE: They caged you like an animal. Years of brutal experimentation took its toll, but the zombie DNA and yours are now intertwined so that you are able to unleash a beast-like power. It flows through your veins. No one can take it from you. Use it. And you’ll discover it’s not just a curse.
• SAVOR THE DAY, OUTLAST THE NIGHT: The day brings many possibilities to explore the region and make the most of your time while the sun is still out. But after sundown, the laws of nature take their course. Darkness tends to bring out the worst in the horde, leaving you with no other choice but to run, hide, or fight.
• SURVIVING IS EASIER IN 4-PLAYER CO-OP: Sometimes it’s best to stick to a group. You never know what you might come across on your adventure. Team up in up to 4-player co-op, or ride solo if you have the guts to take it
  all on your own.
