We’ve seen increasing number of games confirming support for PS5 Pro since the console was unveiled, and another game has now joined that list, with Techland confirming that the upcoming Dying Light: The Beast will be leveraging the console’s more powerful hardware and technical capabilities to deliver targeted enhancements.
Speaking with GamingBolt in a recent interview, franchise director Tymon Smektala revealed that Dying Light: The Beast will be enhanced for the upcoming pro console, confirming that that game will “take advantage of everything the PS5 Pro has to offer”.
“We’re definitely keeping the latest hardware in mind,” Smektala said. “We want to make sure Dying Light: The Beast takes advantage of everything the PS5 Pro has to offer, but we’ll be sharing more about specific enhancements closer to launch. We already had our first attempt at this by adding some improvements to Dying Light 2 Stay Human, but for Dying Light: The Beast we definitely want to take it much, much further.
Though he didn’t share specific details, in the same interview, Smektala also spoke to GamingBolt about how the PS5 Pro’s GPU boost will help Dying Light: The Beast, and why he views PSSR as the console’s defining feature.
Meanwhile, Smektala also confirmed to GamingBolt that The Beast’s open world map will be smaller in size than Dying Light 2’s map, but will be “much more detailed”, and that the game will “lean heavily into survival horror”. Stay tuned for our full interview with Smektala.
Dying Light: The Beast is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, but doesn’t yet have a release date.
