Kyle Crane is voiced by Roger Craig Smith in Dying Light: The Beast, the next entry slated for 2025. Smith previously led the original Dying Light and its expansion, reprising the series’ most recognizable voice a decade on.

Roger Craig Smith is back as the English voice of Kyle Crane

Smith’s return anchors The Beast with the same gravelly determination that defined Crane in the first game and The Following. Outside Dying Light, Smith is widely known for voicing Sonic the Hedgehog, Ezio Auditore in Assassin’s Creed, and Batman in Arkham Origins — a range that gives Crane’s performance both bite and restraint without slipping into caricature.

For players who value continuity, this is a straight reprise: it’s the same actor behind Crane in the original game, now back for the new installment.
