This article contains spoilers about dying and its expansion, below.
and Dying Light: The BeastIn the near future, the protagonist's story continues the original game, and Shambling lands on the console and PC, which is a great time to remember you The dying lightand its large-scale expansion, the following. It's been a decade since the initial dying light, and you'll be forgiven for being a little misty in the details. Fortunately for you, IGN has taken impeccable notes, so you need to know everything about the Dies Light story before streaming the upcoming sequel.
Oh, it should be negligent, but Destroyer Lying in front.
The original dying light actually takes you straight into its fictional Middle Eastern environment: Harlan City, unfortunately, has become the zero ground for the devastating virus outbreak, which turns people into absolutely terrifying, naked-eyed dark creatures, also known as zombies. You play Kyle Crane, a secret agent of the humanitarian organization Global Relief Work (GRE). You enter the city under the guise of helping survivors, but your actual mission is to track down Kadir Suleiman, a politician who stole archives that are crucial to GRE. If you already think that the GRE may not be totally squeaky clean, your intuition is great. Follow your intestines.
When you are attacked by fools acting on behalf of warlords, your mission will quickly go sideways and then be bitten by zombies and get infected with the virus, it's all in the first moments of the city because you're very good at work. With your cover blowing right away, already experiencing a seizure before the full rigidity, you are with a survivor enclave called The Tower, by the only person who qualifies for responsibility in the Revelation: a parkour coach – in this case, it's a really cool guy, someone named Harris Brecken. You follow his leadership, learn how parkour and treat it with an experimental drug that can avoid the effects of using the zombie virus, called Antizin.
You also meet a freeman and fighter Jade Aldemir with a golden heart who will do anything for Dr. Imran Zere, a scientist who is a scientist who cures zombie viruses and of course her brother Rahim Aldemir, you can tell your reckless guy right away and you can tell them right away.
Les vs. Machine
With the crew of your allies, soon after, you appropriately introduce the villain of the dying Light and the person who stole the GRE file. Kadir “Rais” Suleiman is a self-proclaimed warlord who resorts to cruel tactics and tends to deal with those who deal with him – all qualities make him a perfect bad guy, and you can't wait to punch holes in your face. His crew has been hopping Antizin and controlling the black market in Harlan through intimidation and violence, so you and your crew start to undermine his actions and oppose him for him. Naturally, he killed Rahim (again, obviously) and kidnapped Dr. Zere to bite.
You go to rescue the good doctor but get caught and thrown into a pit where you are forced to fight the infected load. Surviving the battle, Rais revealed that not only did he know you worked for GRE, but he was ready for publication. A plot twist? GRE is accomplice in the outbreak and plans to weaponize its weapons with the enemy. Yes, do you know? Your boss is really not very good.
You manage to escape Rais' clutch, suddenly show off some serious martial arts skills, chop off the guy's hand, but Rais manages to escape his life, and Dr. Zere is killed before you can rescue him. Fortunately, the faded scientist tells you that he has done research on Jade and hopes it delivers it to Dr. Camden, a new character in town.
Gre-at engages in war crimes
Now that you see what GRE means, you re-adjust with the people in Harran and the friends you make in the tower. You learned that the Department of Defense works with the GRE, planning to blow up the entire city, and then claiming there are no survivors in the beginning.
You'll be in the old town with some new friendships and have a plan to let the world know you need to help you come up with a series of expenses in a skyscraper with a series of burning faces. However, a fighter immediately sank it to cover it. You can then rotate to climb to the top of the communication tower and send a message to let the world know you are there. This forces the firefighting program to be stopped, but GRE contacts you with a new suggestion: curing it into Dr. Zere is studying and you will be extracted.
Unfortunately, you find that Rais kidnapped Jade before that – the kidnapping seemed to be the man's favorite move. You arrived at her but found that she was bitten and was becoming an infected person. Rais offers you a dose of anti-Zin that lets you both choose who can survive. Jade insists you take drugs and you are forced to kill her after she is completely transformed into a zombie.
Reward time
After mourning your losses and getting one of Rais' Goons, you brought the treatment sample to Dr. Camden, but you still need to get the rest of the Zere data from Rais. You follow him and learn that Rais is the fan of making the worst deal imaginable, he arranged with Harran's extracted GRE in exchange for data. Naturally, you face to face with that guy on the top of the skyscraper and give him the final offer that he can't refuse by stabbing his neck and leaving him dead.
GRE appears in searching for data, but you heroically refuse the opportunity to save yourself and instead provide the data to Camden to save Harran's people. It seems to be visible, and at this critical moment, the story of the dying lamp gradually ends. But Kyle's story is not over yet, and it's a very weird thing to make the game's expansion…
the following
After Harran stayed in Harran to help the people of the city, you heard rumors about a crazy survivor that some people in the countryside were not affected by the infection. The treatment Dr. Camden is dealing with hasn't made any progress yet, and Antizin is running low, so you naturally have to go investigate. You soon discover that the entire area outside Harlan is enchanted with a cult called Son of the Sun, which worships a mysterious figure known as the mother. They performed a strange ritual that seemed too comfortable, similar to and personal to the zombies, but they didn't seem to worry about not dying.
You start working with this cult, hoping to learn more and eventually gain the trust of its super creepy masked official, called The Faceless, and agree to bid in hopes of bringing their treatment back to Harran. Ultimately, you'll find that the thug's good “Rais” band operates in the area, trying to master the treatment on its own. You track them down to the dam where your mother hid, but by the time you arrive, all the men of Rais are dead.
Here's where things are really weird: you finally meet your mother, and when she takes off her creepy mask, you'll find she's completely infected – has transformed into the most dangerous infected person: a kind of volatile. But strangely, she is not as wild as an ordinary zombie, and has the ability to sense and speak despite looking like a terrifying corpse monster. She reveals to you that her treatment is not a proper remedy, because it is a compromise: she is able to keep the zombie impulsive during the day, but continues to kill the revelry at night. In other words, she is more or less a zombie werewolf. Yes.
The bitter ending
Mother suggests how to end the infection once and for all: Summon the Sun God. Spoiler Alert – She is talking about a nuclear bomb, and to be fair, it's definitely a technical treatment. Here's where you choose: Agree to help her kill everyone with the plan of absolutely crazy lich, or you know, don't. Very difficult call.
If you decide to stand with your mother, you will use her nuclear regulations to fire a missile at Harran to remove its clean survivors and the infection (Dope) cleaning, but doing so brings the proper end to the outbreak. Of course, this is the more metal among the two options, but given that the beast will feature Kyle, I will continue to say that maybe this option isn't exactly Canon. Who knows. King, knock yourself down.
Also, you can tell the monster to hike, but she forces you to drink the elixir of life, making you feel like zombies. You fight and kill her, collect the vials, escape the dam. After suffering a power outage, you will find yourself outside of Harlan’s range and playing in the park. At this point, you realize that you have completely transformed into volatile and screamed, suggesting the coming global apocalypse. oops.
This is where Kyle's story ends, at least until death: the beast arrives. Now, you might be thinking, “How could they make a sequel?” This is a fair question. This sequel comes in the years after the following years, and you play Kyle Crane again, who is apparently captured by a socialist named “The Baron” after the following events, whom he experimented with for 13 years. Now escaped, he seeks revenge on his former kidnapper, and as the title suggests, there is some non-human DNA in him that seems likely to play a major role in the story.
I'm not quite sure Techland will address the branch decision below, or how the studio plans to fill the 13-year gap, but I can't wait to see the unquestionable strange direction: the beast arrives on September 19th.
