New Dying Light: The Beast Update Adds New Difficulty and New Enemy Type

Techland has released a new update for their latest installment, Dying Light: The Beast, and some hardcore fans will definitely enjoy the new features the developers have added to the game.

The main new feature in Dying Light: The Beast’s update, called the 1.5 update, is a new difficulty grading—Nightmare Experience. The players will be able to meet stronger and more aggressive humans and zombies than ever, not only during the night mode but in the day as well. It will also include a new type of enemy—Alpha Volatile, who is described as “the strongest infected in Castor Woods and the smartest in Dying Light history.” The full description of the 1.5 update you can check below:

“Nightmare Experience is a new difficulty level for Dying Light: The Beast – designed for seasoned players looking for serious survival experience. It makes Human and Infected enemies stronger, smarter, more aggressive, reacting faster to players’ actions using their heightened senses. Some Dark Zones may now include Volatiles during the day and gameplay becomes more challenging as resources are limited and they need to be managed more carefully.

This update also introduces a new Alpha Volatile. This is the most powerful infected in Castor Woods, and the most intelligent Volatile in the history of Dying Light. It tracks the player’s scent, ignores the UV light from the flashlight, and can hunt and follow them across the map until they reach a safe zone or manage to kill it. He’s smart and dangerous, enforcing a careful and strategic playstyle during the night.

On top of that Nightmare Experience brings new survival mechanics. The Hunger System affects stamina, health regeneration, and combat efficiency. The longer players ignore hunger, the stronger the penalties become. Additionally, the flashlight drains over time and will dim and flicker as the battery gets low, requiring players to craft or find replacements.”

While Techland is releasing updates for Dying Light: The Beast, new report suggest the next Dying Light video game could have a multiplayer mode, though the game hasn’t been announced yet.
