Game Rant interviewed Dying Light: The Beast devs:

"Kyle Crane is Back!" - Techland and Roger Craig Smith on Dying Light: The Beast

Announced at Gamescom's Opening Night Live event, Dying Light: The Beast is a new standalone open-world zombie adventure from Techland. Though Dying Light: The Beast is set in a brand new region for the franchise and will feature a wealth of new gameplay features, it's hearkening back to the series' roots in one major way: Kyle Crane is back.

Q. What's it like to finally have Kyle Crane back, and what would you say to fans who have waited this long for Kyle Crane?

Smektala: For us, it's super energizing. The decision to make Kyle Crane the protagonist of Dying Light: The Beast really gave us a boost of energy and inspiration for the whole project. We feel like we're 10 years younger because of it. The creative juices and the energy are definitely there. Fans have been waiting for this. The excitement is there, and we share the excitement.

Smith: I cannot believe it'll be 10 years in January [since Dying Light released]. I was shocked, to be honest, when this came around. I've had – for 10 years – fans coming up to me at conventions and things like that asking, "Do you think Crane will ever come back?" and I'm like, "I don't know... did you see the way it ended?"

Thanks Farflame!

Requires an account just to read. Man I hate when sites do that.

Really? it's readable for me.

Seems to be random with the site asking users to join.

First time it told me I needed an account to read the article.

Second time it didn't ask.

I've never seen Gamerant ask to create an account. That said, I don't consider it a very good site. It's a lot of clickbait.

Yet they do with some articles lately though. TheGamer does as well.

Both are tabloid gaming sites. Like those those old gossip magazines in stores.
