This time, the internet has come together; the conversations center around how much Kyle Crane looks like the Hero of Harran. Were we playing the same game all these years? Techland‘s official Twitter broke the truth, and gamers have lost it. Some call it a glitch in the matrix; some are here for the fun. Hell, I am one of them.
First off, Kyle Crane, the main character of Dying Light, is a rugged, parkour-loving guy who is humanity’s last chance against a zombie apocalypse. The Hero of Harran? Also rugged, parkour-style badass who’s…glances toward the clock. Wait. A minute. Hmmm. If you really think about it, those two seem a lot alike. Or maybe it’s just me staring lots at the screen. Either way, this tweet set the internet on fire, with the reactions ranging from hilarious to insane.
One player, @Applerskee, honestly went out there and said the thing nobody said before: “Did anyone else notice the Kyle Crane IS the hero of Harran?” Bold claim. But is it wrong? The evidence is very much piling up. Another went further. @xxxBongwater pointed out that Crane’s voice is basically Sonic, Batman, and Ezio all mashed into one. Weirdly accurate, eh? Roger Craig Smith, who voices Crane, also voices Sonic and Ezio, so… CONSPIRACY CONFIRMED??
Most people disagree, though. @Ravannacries fired back with, “No he looks more sad and depressed, that’s just some rando.” Oh, snap! Meanwhile, @MEGRIMLOC cut in with “No way, he’s too bulky compared to the Hero of Harran.” Okay, fitness police, we see you! And there is also the most chaotic reply of all, according to @YourDonutbro: “That hero plowed my wife! And I mean with a car!” Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Amid the chaos of negativity, some gamers, um… kept up the appreciation for Crane’s looks. @Fyrionix shouted, “Crane is also hot as fuck HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,” which, yeah, fair. And @J19_Gaming89 replied succinctly with “That he does 👀🔥.” Sometimes, less is more.
Now the juicy part—the promised gore update is more in the players’ minds. @Quin24104049 and @guwno90 are ragging on Techland for not delivering what they teased last week. “What ever happened to the gore video you guys promised LAST WEEK? Where is the wear and tear on the weapons?” demanded @Quin24104049. Fair question. Meanwhile, @WaliaTaran joined the chorus with, “Where’s the video about the gore update?” like a broken record. We get it, y’all want zombies to explode in HD.
Now the German faction went… pouty. @Marcel9191 and @MrHazel88 debated on whether Dying Light 2 shall be unveiled uncut in Germany. Spoiler: They are not hopeful. ‘I hate Germany so much,’ sighed @Marcel9191. Mood, honestly.
But let’s swing around to the main point—Kyle Crane and the Hero of Harran might be long-lost twins, and the internet is here for it. Whether it is a fine Easter egg or a mere case of “Same face syndrome,” gamers are eating it up. And honestly, if this is the kind of chaos we get leading into Dying Light 2, we are sure going to have a wild ride.
So, is Kyle Crane the Hero of Harran? Maybe. Is Techland messing with us? Absolutely. Will we ever get that gore update? Only time will tell. One thing for sure, though—Dying Light fans never bore you. Now, if you will excuse us, here we go staring at side-by-side comparisons for the next three hours. Just to be sure.
