Dockets Return in ‘Dying Light: The Beast’ [Trailer]
After hyping up Dying Light‘s 10th anniversary last week, Techland has dropped some news regarding Dockets for the upcoming Dying Light: The Beast. Already a well established tradition since the original Dying Light, Dockets have now been reimagined for The Beast.
For those not in the know, Dockets are codes hidden in plain sight that can be redeemed for exclusive in-game rewards, even before Dying Light: The Beast launches! You can find the elusive codes by watching (and re-watching) trailers, exploring social media, or digging into the lore of Dying Light. Persistence pays off, and with Dockets, it pays off with exclusive gear.
Some dockets are easy to find (including in the tutorial video below), while others are well hidden. They also might have made their way into some older assets – so it’s worth rewatching earlier trailers and checking every combination of letters and numbers that seems to be out of place.
Dying Light: The Beast is the expansion-turned-full-game that revolves around Dying Light protagonist Kyle Crane. After breaking free from a decade of experimentation, Kyle discovers a changed world… and so has he. Explore the once-picturesque tourist destination Castor Woods in a quest for revenge against The Baron, the man responsible for Kyle’s imprisonment. Harness Kyle’s half-human, half-zombie DNA to unleash devastating powers along with his survival and parkour skills, complete with four-player co-op support.
Look for Dying Light: The Beast when it launches on August 22 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Bethesda Confirms Obsidian ‘Fallout’ Project, Announces Remasters of ‘New Vegas’ and ‘Fallout 3’
After last week’s report that Obsidian was pivoting to work on a new Fallout entry, Bethesda Game Studios has confirmed that rumour as part of the publisher’s new roadmap. The new roadmap also includes Fallout 5, which has just entered pre-production, as well as remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
Along with the Fallout announcements, Bethesda also confirmed that their primary focus will be The Elder Scrolls VI, while 2023’s Starfield will continue to receive new content, along with gameplay improvements and further updates.
“Fallout is one of our biggest priorities today,” reads the announcement. “Fallout 5 remains our long-range destination, and we have multiple Fallout projects in active development right now.
We also know many players want to revisit previous Fallout experiences. While we’re not announcing any dates today, we have been working on remasters for both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.”
As for the Obsidian project, Bethesda stated that they will have more to share regarding the collaboration at a later date.
The message continues, with Bethesda stating that The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 are being developed on Creation Engine 3, which is the same engine used for Starfield. “[Creation Engine 3] allows our teams to support multiple projects simultaneously with new tools, rendering, and systems that define our games.
Fallout 5 is currently in pre-production. The Elder Scrolls VI is our primary development focus today, with the majority of our team currently working on the next chapter of the franchise. With over 65 million copies sold, players are still exploring Skyrim 15 years later, but we know it’s been a very long wait for the sequel.
The next chapter is on the way. We’re where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day.”
