Delay in launch of Dying Light: The Beast by Techland due to additional polishing work required
In an announcement made by developer Techland on July 24, 2025, the anticipated DLC-turned-sequel, Dying Light: The Beast, has been delayed by four weeks. The new release date is now set for September 19, 2025.
This delay has been implemented to provide the development team with extra time to refine various aspects of the game. The focus will be on improving gameplay balance, UI clarity, physics quality, cutscenes, and player animations, among other elements15.
Dying Light: The Beast is a full-blown standalone sequel that sees the return of Kyle Crane, the hero from the original Dying Light. Kyle Crane, who has been seeking revenge after years of experimentation at the hands of the Baron, will once again face a world overrun by zombies. Players must balance their human and beast sides to survive2.
For those who don't own the ultimate edition of Dying Light 2, Dying Light: The Beast will retail for $59.99. However, for those who do own the ultimate edition, they will receive Dying Light: The Beast for free, as it was originally intended to be DLC6.
Dying Light: The Beast promises to deliver four-player co-op for post-apocalyptic action.
