Techland has officially pushed the release of Dying Light: The Beast from its original August 22 launch to September 19, 2025 . Though only a four-week delay, the team is using the time to refine key areas and ensure the game meets its high expectations.
According to Techland, the delay will focus on gameplay balance, UI clarity, physics enhancements, cutscenes, and animations, plus adding final touches that matter. The studio reiterated its goal: making this the best Dying Light game ever .
Set in the eerie Castor Woods, The Beast brings back protagonist Kyle Crane, now wrestling with zombie DNA and beastly powers after thirteen years of experimentation by the mysterious Baron. Players can expect dark survival horror, visceral melee combat, and an expanded focus on impactful firearm use, designed to feel as gritty and brutal as the melee play .
Originally conceived as DLC for Dying Light 2, the project grew into a standalone adventure thanks to scope expansion—and a story leak . Techland is granting The Beast free to players who purchased the Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition, though the edition is being delisted soon .
Why it matters:
Techland’s commitment to polish signals lessons learned from Dying Light 2’s rough launch.
The late‑September window puts The Beast within range of bigger releases like Borderlands 4, raising concerns about competition .
Patience may be disappointing now—but a stronger first impression could pay off in replayability and fan satisfaction.
