Techland have decided to give Dying Light: The Beast a little more time to cook. As a result, the game will be moving from its original August 22nd release to almost a full month later on September 19.

Techland announced the delay for the expansion-turned-full-game via a new devlog post, citing the need for extra polish.

“It has always been our goal to make Dying Light: The Beast the best Dying Light game we’ve ever released,” reads the post. “To honor this promise, we’ve made the decision to move the release date to September 19, 2025 to allow for extra polishing work.

We understand that this may be disappointing, but our experience has shown how important the first impression is. With just four additional weeks, we can address final details that make all the difference between good and great. Areas we want to improve include finetuning the balance of gameplay elements, looking into clarity of UI, increasing the quality of physics, as well as tweaking cutscenes and player animations further as well as adding last little details.”

As a way to make up for the delay, Techland has stated that they will be posted regular updates from the studio, starting next week with a look at the game’s gore system. As well, Dying Light: The Beast will be available as a playable demo at Gamescom next month in Cologne.

Dying Light: The Beast will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
