A new trademark has been filed by Techland for the Dying Light franchise. According to a filing on August 12, 2024 (h/t Kurakasis), Techland has registered a trademark for Dying Light: The Beast.
Obviously, with it just being a trademark filing there’s not much to say regarding what exactly Dying Light: The Beast is. Dying Light 2 launched in 2022 and was the last game Techland released. We know there is another game in development at Techland, but details surrounding that have been scarce.
As of writing the trademark has not been approved due to it just being filed on the 12th. Still, it seems like a forgone conclusion that it will be finalized in the near future.
