"The Beast"

With Gamescom 2024 almost upon us, hype man Geoff Keighley is doing what he does best: drumming up hype. The presenter and producer tweeted out an ominous teaser for something potentially spooky, with an eerie live-action trailer heralding the coming of "The Beast."

As chronicled by IGN, it didn't take long for internet sleuths to connect the dots, with video game detective Kurakasis being the first to link Keighley's spooky trailer with Dying Light: The Beast, coincidently a title which Dying Light publisher/developer Techland trademarked in recent days. We've seen speculation that this could be still more DLC for Dying Light 2, or a spinoff of some sort. Thankfully, we don't have much longer to wait, as a reveal has been promised for Opening Night Live.

What do you make of The Beast? Does it sound like some more Dying Light 2 DLC is on the cards, or could this be something else entirely? Let us know in the comments section below.
