Dying Light: The Beast’s Release Date Moved by One Day!

In an exciting turn of events for the gaming community, Techland has announced that the release date for their highly anticipated first-person zombie adventure, Dying Light: The Beast, has been moved up by one day. Originally delayed by four weeks to allow for additional polishing, the game will now launch on September 18, a full day earlier than the previously scheduled date of September 19.

Franchise director Tymon Smektała shared his enthusiasm regarding the decision, stating, “Seeing the excitement from our community for the return of Kyle Crane in Dying Light: The Beast, and knowing the game is ready, we wanted to do something special for our players. We pushed ourselves to make the impossible possible, and that’s why we’re releasing the game a little earlier. I can’t wait to see players’ reactions when they finally step into the world of The Beast.”

Pre-Orders and Exclusive Rewards

More than a million players have already pre-ordered Dying Light: The Beast, and Techland aims to keep this enthusiastic base satisfied. Those who pre-order the game will receive an exclusive new reward, the details of which remain under wraps until the launch week. This promise of special content adds to the excitement surrounding the game’s release.

Gameplay Insights

Our FPS expert, Morgan Park, recently had the opportunity to experience a one-hour demo of The Beast and was pleasantly surprised by its expansive nature. Initially conceived as an expansion for Dying Light 2, it has evolved into what many are calling a fully-fledged new entry in the series. For players who purchased the Dying Light 2: Ultimate Edition, the game will still be available at no additional cost.

Morgan noted, “The Beast is a much larger game than I assumed it’d be based on its non-numbered subtitle. It has a completely new map, characters, and story—Smektała said his last playthrough was around 37 hours with the main story and side quests considered. It’s not a standalone expansion; it’s the next Dying Light game.”

What to Expect

• New Map: Explore a vast, uncharted territory filled with challenges and surprises.
• Engaging Characters: Meet a cast of new characters that will enhance your gaming experience.
• Rich Storyline: Immerse yourself in a compelling narrative that builds on the previous games.
• Gameplay Length: Expect a substantial number of hours of gameplay, with both main quests and side missions.

As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to build among fans of the series. With an earlier launch and exciting new content, Dying Light: The Beast is poised to captivate both returning players and newcomers alike.
