Dying Light: The Beast Release Date and New Trailer

During Summer Games Fest today, developer Techland revealed the release date for their latest Dying Light entry, The Beast.

The survival, parkour open world games are some of the most popular zombie games in modern times and it's no surprise today's standalone entry is generating hype.

Dying Light: The Beast will release on 22 August on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.

Dying Light: The Beast gameplay trailer

Alongside the release date announcement, we got a new look at gameplay for The Beast which shows us plenty of what’s in store for the August release.

In the new trailer we get to see stunning new environments, parkour gameplay and plenty of the undead slaughter. The series is famous for blending parkour, shooting and a range of vehicles in a melting pot that George A Romero would be proud of.

In Dying Light: The Beast, we will return to the shoes of Kyle Crane. The "˜Hero of Harran' – the original game's fictional apocalyptic city. The Beast will carry on Crane's story.

The series is well known for giving players a wealth of post-game content for free. Whilst there has been paid DLC for both the original and Dying Light 2: Stay Human, Techland are well known for looking after their fan base with plenty of free cosmetic and gameplay add-ons.

If you're yet to play either of the previous Dying Light games, they're frequently heavily discounted on all platforms. Dying Light 2 is also included in PlayStation Plus Extra.


Dying Light: The Beast releases on current-gen consoles later this year. What were your thoughts on the new trailer from Techland today? Are you still jumping and slicing as Kyle Crane in the original Dyling Light?
