Mooring Light: The beast He is ready to see the return of the former protagonist of the Kyle Crane series, but the developer Techland has said that fans must play the game to find out.
In an interview with Techradar Gaming at Summer Game Fest 2025, Franchise Director Tymon Smektała explained that one of the objectives of Mooring Light: The beast It is to offer answers to “several unanswered questions”, including why Kyle Crane has returned.
At the end of Mooring Light: The followingThe players are presented two possible results for the character: Kyle will be completely infected or killed in a nuclear explosion.
Despite these endings, The beast Once again, the Kyle star, but Smektała emphasized that the players will need to play the game to find out why.
“Play the game, play the game to get that answer. But in reality, that is what is one of the goals,” said Smektała. “That is one of the types of things Mooring Light: The beastWe want to answer a series of unanswered questions from previous games, and I say plural games in a significant and reasonable way. “
