Polish developer Techland has delayed the release of Dying Light: The Beast to September 19, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
“It has always been our goal to make Dying Light: The Beast the best Dying Light game we’ve ever released. To honor this promise, we’ve made the decision to move the release date to September 19, 2025 to allow for extra polishing work,” the studio stated.
It added: “We’ve been carefully listening to what you’ve been saying – whether through playtests, the recent preview coverage and in comments. With just four additional weeks, we can address final details that make all the difference between good and great. Areas we want to improve based on player feedback include 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.”
Dying Light: The Beast was initially targeting a release in August 2025, while a version for PS4 and Xbox One has always been on course for a launch towards the end of the year. There is no word of any potential effect of the delay on the last-gen version’s launch window. The delay notwithstanding, the upcoming game will be playable at Gamescom 2025.
