Techland has announced that Dying Light: The Beast has been officially delayed and will now launch on September 19, 2025, instead of its original August release window. The reason? Extra time to polish and tighten things up before release.
Over 150 outlets and creators recently previewed the game, and the reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. It’s being called everything from “a standout game of 2025” to “nail-biting survival horror” and “a project with a soul.” That kind of reception doesn’t happen by accident. It shows the team is on the right track.
Techland says the extra four weeks will be used to fine-tune gameplay balance, clean up UI clarity, improve physics, adjust cutscenes, and polish animations. The studio also mentioned that they’ve been reading player feedback closely, which has helped them zero in on the final touches that still need work.
To keep fans engaged, Techland plans to drop regular updates over the summer. A playable demo will also be available at Gamescom 2025 in Hall 6, and yes, Bober the Beaver is making a comeback.
