When is Dying Light: The Beast Coming Out?
Dying Light: The Beast will be released on September 18 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
The game was originally intended to be released on August 22, but a delay was needed for Techland to fully polish the game and make it the best zombie-slashing adventure possible.
The game’s launch was then brought forward by Techland to September 18 from September 19, an entire day early!
Here are all the global launch timings for Dying Light: The Beast:
Dying Light: The Beast started life as an expansion to Dying Light 2: Stay Human, but Techland realized it was too big for that and needed to flex as a standalone title. For this game, Roger Craig Smith (the original game’s lead voice actor) returned to play the role of Kyle Crane, a fan-favorite protagonist.
The Beast will now be a full-fledged game with all-new mechanics, upgraded visuals and effects, and an original story that brings to life the future of Dying Light.
