From Press Release:
Wrocław, Poland – Sept. 18, 2025 – The Beast is finally unleashed! We’re excited to announce the global launch of Dying Light: The Beast. The game is now available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
“Dying Light is back, and I couldn’t be more proud of my team and the game we created. Their passion, dedication, and hard work have resulted in something truly great. This project taught us more than any before about the importance of staying true to the core elements of our IP. For players, it’s an exciting return to the roots of the series, and for us, we’re back on the right track!” – says Paweł Marchewka, Techland CEO.
“The time has come. Castor Woods is now open for you to explore, and we couldn’t be more excited for you to experience what we’ve been building. We’ve pushed our parkour to new heights, crafted our most diverse open world yet, and made our combat more visceral than ever. Go ahead – tear through the infected by day and unleash your power. But when night falls, be careful. The Volatile horrors that hunt in the dark are more fearsome than you can imagine. Good night, and good luck.” – wishes Nathan Lemaire, Game Director.
“Dying Light: The Beast is our love letter to the series and to the incredible Dying Light community. Our players have stood with us through highs and lows, and our greatest ambition with this project was to deliver the game that our community truly deserves. To all the fans of Kyle Crane and Dying Light – the moment is here. It’s time to unleash The Beast!” – shouts Tymon Smektała, Dying Light Franchise Director, barely able to contain his excitement.
We’re celebrating the release of the game with the official Launch Trailer, showcasing the primal intensity and nailbiting emotions of Dying Light: The Beast.
Techland is excited to announce that Dying Light: The Beast is now Steam Deck Verified. Today, players can take the horror adventure anywhere, enjoying brutal combat, physical parkour and a survival-focused open world experience, fully optimized for smooth gameplay.
“As a fan of the Steam Deck, I was personally driven to bring Dying Light: The Beast to the platform. I oversaw every detail to make sure it runs really well, including a special ‘performance’ mode that contains a mix of tweaked settings and special optimizations together with HDR and VRR running smoothly on an OLED display. I’m happy with how the game performs, and I can’t wait for players to try it themselves on September 18th,” said Rendering & Audio Director, Tomasz Szałkowski.
About Dying Light: The Beast
You are Kyle Crane. After being captured by the Baron and enduring his painful experiments for years, you escape. Left on the edge of humanity with both human and zombie DNA, you struggle to control your inner beast and the conflict that comes with it. But you’ll need to, if you want to get your revenge on the man who did this to you.
A unique blend of open world and action survival horror, Dying Light: The Beast is set in the beautiful, yet dangerous valley of Castor Woods that’s now overrun with zombies rather than tourists. To take your former captor down, you’ll need to form fragile alliances, as well as utilize all the combat and traversal options in your arsenal.
But be careful: out here, each step is a fight for survival, especially once the sun sets and the tension heightens as the true horrors come out at night!
Dying Light: The Beast will be released on September 18, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-order it now and get the Hero of Harran Bundle, APEX Car Skin and Kyle Crane Legacy Skin as exclusive gifts.
