Challenge enthusiasts will face an increased threat.
The developers of Dying Light The Beast have presented a new edition of the Pilgrim Outpost diary dedicated to the future of the game.
Franchise boss Tymon Smektała talked about Nightmare Mode — when creating a new difficulty level, the authors wanted to offer something more than just "bigger numbers."
Yes, enemies will deal more damage, and the game will be more demanding [to the player's skills], but that's not the point. We would like to try a more realistic survival cycle, so expect new mechanics. In parallel with this, we are studying each of our bosses to understand how we can adjust their behavior to make them more unpredictable. In addition to all this, we are also considering some changes for special Volatile enemies [appearing at night] — these are just intentions, so I don’t want to promise too much, but we are considering games like Alien: Isolation or Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as sources of inspiration.
Also, a "New Game+" will be introduced in Dying Light The Beast — you can go through the whole game again, saving the progress of experience, skills and items from the first playthrough. It will be possible to sequentially go through NG+ one after another to maximize the skill tree; with each cycle, the enemies will become stronger.
