Techland is set to make us all feel alive again with Dying Light: The Beast—the third mainline entry in the survival horror series. If you want to know Dying Light: The Beast’s release date and launch times, you’ve come to the right, safe place.
Dying Light: The Beast has been a long time coming. What started as DLC has become a beast within its own right. The Beast is smaller but more focused and dense compared to Dying Light 2. Old-school fans are thrilled to learn that OG protagonist Kyle Crane is back—even if he has become an unexpected thirst trap!
We’ve loved Dying Light: The Beast in our initial Insider Gaming previews. So let’s see its release date and what to expect.
When is Dying Light: The Beast Coming Out?
Dying Light: The Beast is locked in for a September 18 release date across various platforms.
The hearts of the Dying Light community were broken back in July 2025 when Techland announced Dying Light: The Beast was delayed by 4 weeks. The official reasons given were “To allow for extra polishing work” and “Finetuning the balance of gameplay elements, looking into clarity of UI, increasing the quality of physics, as well as tweaking cutscene and player animations further.”
Again, we’ve played The Beast, and the improvements are noticeable. Expectations are very high for Dying Light: The Beast, and its release date (and start times) can’t come soon enough.
