Whereas Dying Gentle is finest identified for its parkour mechanics and tense nighttime survival conditions, it’s straightforward to overlook how gory it may be. As if taking cues from Useless Island 2, Techland has applied some life like gore mechanics in Dying Gentle: The Beast, which you’ll try within the trailer beneath.
Decapitation is barely the beginning – slicing by means of a zombie’s physique reveals its contaminated innards and bones earlier than it crumples. One shot highlights how a sledgehammer can expose an enemy’s mind on the primary hit, adopted up by a satisfying splatter on the second. Nevertheless, as a result of protagonist Kyle Crane’s mutation affords some superhuman power, he can even punch by means of our bodies together with his naked fingers.
Maybe the good second is stopping a strike from a heavy zombie, seizing its rebar weapon and planting it firmly within the creature’s cranium.
Dying Gentle: The Beast launches on September nineteenth for Xbox Collection X/S, PS5, and PC (with the PS4 and Xbox One variations launching later this yr). It retails for $59.99 – head right here for franchise director Tymon Smektala’s ideas on why that is justified. Gamescom attendees can even sit up for a playable demo from August twentieth to twenty fourth at Techland’s sales space.
