Dying Light: The Beast Launches Early After One Million Pre-Orders Sold
Techland has confirmed that Dying Light: The Beast will launch one day earlier than planned. The release date now moves from September 19 to September 18, 2025. This change comes after the game reached one million pre-orders. As a result, the team decided to reward fans with an earlier launch.
Originally conceived as downloadable content for Dying Light 2: Stay Human, the project evolved into a standalone game. It now features a 20-hour main story plus 20-30 hours of additional content. In addition, franchise director Tymon Smektała confirmed that protagonist Kyle Crane will return. Fans will also receive an exclusive reward during launch week, with details revealed closer to release.
The revised release affects launch timing across multiple platforms. Furthermore, early previews highlight the game’s immersive gameplay and survival horror elements. Although some criticism targeted the $60 price due to its DLC origins, the majority of feedback praises the expansion. Therefore, anticipation is high as the new date approaches.
If both pre-order success and critical reception hold, The Beast could become a standout entry in the Dying Light franchise. Meanwhile, Techland continues to support ongoing updates for Dying Light 2: Stay Human. As a result, the studio maintains momentum in its survival horror lineup. Fans can now mark September 18 on their calendars for the global release.
