Dying Light: The Beast is the latest standalone release in the long‑running Dying Light series, developed and published by Techland. The game launched on September 18, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One planned for later in 2025. The title brings back the original protagonist and pushes the franchise into darker, more intense survival horror territory.
Fans of the Dying Light universe know the blend of first‑person parkour, brutal melee combat, and open‑world exploration. The Beast takes these elements and builds on them with a fresh, personal storyline centered on Kyle Crane, the hero from the first game. After years of captivity and experimentation by a mysterious antagonist called the Baron, Crane escapes and embarks on a mission for revenge. His transformation into a half‑human, half‑volatile creature adds tension and complexity as players balance his growing powers with the dangers of the infected world around him.
The story unfolds in a new setting called Castor Woods, a dense and unpredictable wilderness filled with danger, hidden secrets, and more sophisticated infections. Players face familiar survival challenges like scavenging for resources, crafting weapons, and navigating a day‑night cycle where the infected become more deadly as darkness falls.
