Dying Light: The Beast Weapons Preview - IGN

Techland's game director Nathan Lemaire showcases the arsenal players will master in Dying Light: The Beast, the upcoming standalone first-person action title blending melee combat, gunplay, and parkour. Returning as protagonist Kyle Crane, players seek vengeance against those who transformed him into the monstrous Beast through brutal experiments.
