Techland has unveiled the first gameplay trailer for Dying Light: The Beast and announced its official release date. Launching on August 22, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, Dying Light: The Beast represents the culmination of the team’s decade-long expertise in survival horror games, taking everything players love about the franchise to a whole new level.
Check out the details:
Players step into the role of Kyle Crane. After being captured by The Baron and subjected to years of painful experiments, you escape. Stranded on the edge of humanity with DNA that’s both human and zombie, you struggle to control your inner beast and the conflicts it fuels. But you must gain control to exact revenge on the man behind the atrocities committed against you.
A unique blend of open-world survival horror and action, Dying Light: The Beast unfolds in the beautiful yet perilous region of Beaver Woods, now overrun by zombies instead of tourists. To defeat the one who stole your freedom, you’ll forge fragile alliances while leveraging every combat and parkour option in your arsenal.
But beware: out here, every step is a fight for survival. Especially after sundown, when tension rises and true horrors emerge!
HALF BEAST, HALF SURVIVOR
Become Kyle Crane—a unique hero with the DNA of a survivor… and a beast. Switch between two distinct gameplay styles and experience a fierce internal conflict between man and monster, culminating in an unstoppable force.
PRIMAL BRUTALITY
