For this authoritative cover story, PC Gamer travels to Wrocław, Poland, to go inside Techland's headquarters, go hands-on with The Beast for several hours, and interview the Dying Light franchise director, Tymon Smektała, about the future of the series that propelled Techland to fame, as well as how this entry in the series is thematically a sequel to the original game rather than its sequel. For any gamer who likes survival horror, FPS action, and immersive open worlds, right now The Beast is looking very promising indeed, and our cover feature gives you all the key info you need to know. (Image credit: Future) Our features in this issue don't stop there, though, as we've also got an incredible celebration on Deus Ex's 25th anniversary, too.
