It was unveiled at Gamescom 2024... For almost a year, fans of the saga have been waiting impatiently for this new title. This wait is about to be rewarded: Dying Light: The Beast, originally scheduled for release on August 22, 2025, has been pushed back by 4 weeks, and will now be available on September 19, 2025. The latest offering from development studio Techland promises to be even more violent and enjoyable. The game is initially scheduled for PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and PS4 and Xbox One at the end of 2025.
" After being kidnapped by the Baron and tortured in the name of science for years, you managed to escape. But your scars are still there. Left to your own devices at the edge of your humanity with half-human, half-zombie DNA, you struggle to control the beast within you and the internal conflict that accompanies it. But if you want revenge on the man responsible for your transformation, you must succeed."
In this opus, players will find Kyle Crane, the series' iconic protagonist, in a new open-world region. After 13 years of captivity in a mysterious laboratory, Crane embarks on a quest to track down his captors through Castor Woods, a once-touristy area now devastated by the apocalypse. The campaign is expected to last around 20 hours. Techland has clarified that"The Beast is neither an entirely new game nor the usual DLC", but rather a stand-alone, meaning that it can be played independently of the rest of the series.
The news also came with a pleasant surprise for owners of the Ultimate Edition of Dying Light 2: Stay Human. Indeed, as the official press release points out:"To thank the community that has patiently waited for the DLC, Techland will be offering Dying Light: The Beast free of charge to all owners of Dying Light 2 Stay Human Ultimate Edition, thus offering a complete stand-alone adventure instead of just DLC". The idea? To reward the loyalty of the community while expanding the already rich universe of Dying Light.
We're back in the thick of the action with survival horror . Between confrontations with zombies and "parkour" phases, the pace never slackens. Day and night, danger lurks around our hero... In fact, the greatest threat may well come from within...
This new opus is an open world: the developers want to give players the freedom to explore, and above all to have fun, whether at the wheel of a car or running from rooftop to rooftop. The co-op mode brings together 2 to 4 players.
