Techland is releasing the largest and most significant update to Dying Light: The Beast to date.
Update 1.4 introduces exciting new content, ray tracing, and 400+ of improvements and fixes across gameplay, movement, combat, co-op, audio, and performance.
The survival horror adventure now offers even more ways to play with the introduction of New Game+. Players can replay Kyle’s story while keeping all gear, weapons, and character progression from their first playthrough. Enemy difficulty is increased, but higher-tier weapons and loot appear to match the challenge. New Game+ can be repeated multiple times, with each completed run further raising the game’s difficulty and granting access to even stronger and rarer weapons, as well as the toughest enemies in Castor Woods.
Techland has also expanded the patch with Legend Levels, the classic Dying Light end-game progression system that extends characters beyond the main skill tree. Once players reach Level 15, all earned XP is converted into Legend XP. Higher difficulty settings and higher New Game+ tiers increase XP gains, so the more players challenge themselves, the faster they progress. Each Legend Level grants Legend Points that can be spent on passive upgrades such as increased health, improved combat stats, and stronger Beast Mode performance.
Visuals and atmosphere have also been significantly enhanced. Ray Tracing on PC brings more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections to Dying Light: The Beast, allowing players to experience the immersive and visually stunning world of Castor Woods with enhanced atmosphere and depth. Additionally, over 70 graphical issues have been resolved, including textures, floating assets, clipping, and misaligned architecture.
