Dying Light: The Beast Delayed To September

Dying Light: The Beast, a standalone adventure in the Dying Light series, has been delayed by several weeks and will now launch on September 19, 2025 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The developer, Techland, has decided to use the extra time to polish the game's user interface, gameplay balance, and player animations, ensuring a better overall experience for players. The game will feature the return of Kyle Crane, the protagonist from the first Dying Light game, as he seeks revenge against a sinister figure known as the Baron. Crane's genetic experiments have given him new rage-fueled powers, which he can use alongside parkour skills and weapons to fight off hordes of infected in the once-bustling tourist destination of Castor Woods. The game is expected to provide a mix of old and new elements from the Dying Light series, with a playtime of around 20 hours for the main story and up to 60 hours for completionists.
