Dying Light: The Beast launches August, trailer at SGF 2025

Techland made waves at Summer Game Fest 2025 by revealing Dying Light: The Beast will launch on August 22, 2025, for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The unexpected announcement means players will return as Kyle Crane mere months from now – marking his comeback after missing from 2022's sequel. Accompanying the release date reveal is new gameplay footage showcasing brutal combat against hordes of infected.

Techland describes Dying Light: The Beast as a "fusion of open-world exploration and survival horror action." Set in the treacherous Castor Woods region, survival demands mastering every available weapon and skill.

"You play as Kyle Crane," Techland explains. "After years of captivity under the Baron's torturous experiments, you break free. Now part-zombie, you battle to restrain your feral instincts while pursuing vengeance against your tormentor."

This standalone chapter in Techland's apocalyptic saga is available for pre-order, with early buyers receiving the Hero of Harran bundle. This includes coveted gear like the Ultimate Survivor Outfit, Harran Combat Knife, and Follower Crossbow.

With its release imminent, fans won't wait long to experience Crane's brutal return. For more announcements, explore all the major reveals from Summer Game Fest 2025.
