A recent update for Dying Light: The Beast’s Restored Land fixes several problems that players were experiencing in the Castor Woods area. This is a worthwhile update for both newcomers to Kyle Crane’s story and those who are still getting the hang of the game’s parkour mechanics.
The update includes many improvements designed to make the game more enjoyable. It adjusts how hunger and recovery work – for example, you’ll lose less hunger while resting – and adds new items to vendor shops. Players who own the DLC will also find legendary upgrades for their weapon blueprints. Plus, the update streamlines inventory management, preventing you from missing out on valuable gear due to limited space. Techland has clearly put a lot of effort into refining the game and providing the best possible experience for players, and you can find a full list of changes below.
We really enjoyed the new update! The added modes and features make the game feel revitalized and worth playing again. You can read our full impressions here. Dying Light: The Beast is now available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC – find our original launch review here.
