Dying Light: The Beast will no longer release on August 22 as planned, as Techland needs more time for polishing before shipping the final product. However, the delay doesn’t push Dying Light: The Beast back significantly, with the new release date being September 19, 2025.
Kyle Crane, the hero of the original Dying Light is back and he now carries both human and infected DNA. In the beginning of Dying Light: The Beast, you won’t have full control over your powers but once you do, the brutality of the combat system is expected to shine through.
Techland recognise, “more than 150 previews were published this week from journalists and content creators and their response was universally positive,” while appearing to indicate the developers are at an all-time high and ready to share what they’ve been working on with fans of the franchise.
Apocalyptic adventure awaits
The announcement from Techland points out, “it has always been our goal to make Dying Light: The Beast the best Dying Light game we’ve ever released. To honor this promise, we’ve made the decision to move the release date to September 19, 2025 to allow for extra polishing work.”
They continue, “we understand that this may be disappointing, but our experience has shown how important the first impression is. With just four additional weeks, we can address final details that make all the difference between good and great. Areas we want to improve include finetuning the balance of gameplay elements, looking into clarity of UI, increasing the quality of physics, as well as tweaking cutscenes and player animations further as well as adding last little details.”
The Standard Edition of Dying Light: The Beast is priced at £49.99, while the Deluxe Edition goes for £58. Anyone who purchased the Ultimate Edition of Dying Light 2 Stay Human will receive Dying Light: The Beast at no additional cost on September 19, 2025.
