Techland showed up for Summer Game Fest 2025 to announce a Dying Light: The Beast release date of August 22, 2025, for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S.

The surprise puts the Dying Light spinoff out in just a few months, placing players back into the shoes of Kyle Crane following his absence in the 2022 sequel.

In its official description for Dying Light: The Beast, Techland calls the adventure a “blend of open world and action survival horror.” It’s set in Castor Woods, a dangerous valley that will require players to use all of their tools to stay alive.

“You are Kyle Crane. After being captured by the Baron and enduring his painful experiments for years, you escape,” Techland’s description says. “Left on the edge of humanity with both human and zombie DNA, you struggle to control your inner beast and the conflict that comes with it. But you’ll need to, if you want to get your revenge on the man who did this to you.”

Dying Light: The Beast is a standalone story in Techland’s post-apocalyptic universe. It’s available for pre-order now, granting early purchasers access to exclusive items such as the Hero of Harran bundle.
