People Think A New Dying Light Is Being Teased For Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024

Dying Light fans might want to tune into Gamescom Opening Night Live tomorrow, August 20. That's because host Geoff Keighley seems to be teasing a new entry in the zombie video game series, especially in light of a recent US Patent and Trademark Office filing.

On X, Keighley shared a roughly one-minute live-action video alongside the text: "The Beast Is Coming." What's notable here is that Keighley focuses on "The Beast," since the USPTO website shows a trademark application for Dying Light: The Beast was submitted on August 12.

Meanwhile, the teaser shows a woman frolicking in a forest for the first half before the tone turns dramatically darker--and bloodier--in the second part. At the end, she says, "Please, help me," before being dragged away. When someone on X responded that they "don't want live-action trailers," Keighley replied: "I'd tune in then."

Last year, series director Tymon Smektała posted a poll on X asking what fans would like to see in a possible Dying Light 3. However, it was made with a disclaimer that this was by no means an official announcement of a sequel. The last entry in the franchise was Dying Light 2: Staying Alive, released in early 2022.

Along with Keighley teasing a new Dying Light, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II are set to show up at Gamescom Opening Night Live tomorrow at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET. However, Keighley has confirmed one game won't be at the event--Hollow Knight: Silksong.
