Revealed During Summer Game Fest 2025
A few days prior to the event, Summer Game Fest host Geoff Keighley announced via Twitter (X) on June 3 that Dying Light: The Beast would feature a gameplay premiere trailer at the show. He noted the trailer would include new gameplay footage and the long-awaited release date reveal—a statement later confirmed by Techland, who retweeted the announcement.
The game was initially unveiled at Gamescom 2024, where it was described as a narrative bridge connecting Dying Light 1 and Dying Light 2. Rather than being a direct sequel, it serves as a standalone experience that reintroduces players to the original protagonist, Kyle Crane.
According to Techland’s Dev Blog from September 2024, The Beast began life as a planned DLC for Dying Light 2, but eventually evolved into a much larger project. Since its reveal, the studio has shared several development updates, offering insight into how the game fits within the broader Dying Light universe.
Dying Light: The Beast is scheduled to launch on [ttpp] for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. For ongoing updates and the latest news about the game, keep an eye on our coverage below!
