Summary
Ahead of Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, the show’s producer and host Geoff Keighley may have something big in store forDying Lightfans. The event marks one of the biggest weeks of the year for video game publishers and developers, and this year’s Opening Night Live is confirmed to feature fresh looks at upcoming games likeCall of Duty: Black Ops 6,Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,Monster Hunter Wilds,Marvel Rivals,and many more.Dying Lightfans are eager for more information regarding the sequel’s second DLC, and it may be coming sooner than anticipated.
Much like the first game,Dying Light 2has continued to provide regular updates, content drops, and events for its playerbase ever since its launch in early 2022. Techland’s parkour-infused zombie-slaying sequel received positive reviews upon release, and its first of two planned DLC expansions,Bloody Ties, was a hit for the community as well. While fans are still waiting for the game’s second untitled DLC, a new Techland trademark leaked just last week. Named “Dying Light: The Beast,” this curious reveal is drumming up speculation and excitement within theDying Lightcommunity.
Dying Lightfans may want topay close attention to this year’s Opening Night Liveaccording to a recent tease from Geoff Keighley on Twitter that may be linked to the popular zombie horror franchise. “The Beast Is Coming,” Keighley posted, also including a short one-minute teaser trailer. The clip starts happily, as a woman dances in a forest before she seems to hear or see something that completely shifts the tone to something darker. Gory images of mauled animals and humans follow before she’s abruptly ripped off-screen by something unseen,
Geoff Keighley ONL Teaser Could Point To Dying Light
As the teaser is titled “The Beast,“Dying Lightfans have been quick to link it to the recent trademark filed by Techland of the very same name. If this is aDying Lighttease, many are interested to know whether it’s thesecondDying Light 2DLC fans have been waiting for, a standalone spinoff game, or the next mainline entry. While enough time has passed sinceDying Light 2’s release for Techland to have cooked up a new, smaller experience, it’s hard to imagine it being teased before the game’s second DLC.
It’s important to remember that this “The Beast” teaser still has no official ties to Techland orDying Light,and that it could just be purely coincidental. With that said,Dying Lightfans don’t have to wait too long to find out for sure, asOpening Night Live kicks off tomorrow, August 20, at 2PM EST.

WHERE TO PLAY
It’s been 20 years since the events of the original game. The virus won, and humanity is slowly dying. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a wandering Pilgrim who delivers goods, brings news, and connects the few remaining survivor settlements in barren lands devastated by the zombie virus. However, your true goal is to find your little sister Mia, who you left behind as a kid to escape Dr. Waltz’s torturous experiments. Haunted by the past, you eventually make the decision to confront it when you learn that Mia may still be alive in Villedor — the last city standing on Earth.You quickly find yourself in a settlement torn by conflict. You’ll need to engage in creative and gory combat, so hone your skills to defeat hordes of zombies and make allies. Roam the city, free run across Villedor’s buildings and rooftops in search of loot in remote areas, and be wary of the night. With every sunset, monsters take control of the streets.
