Techland has exciting news for zombie game fans: Dying Light The Beast is set to launch in summer 2025. This standalone title brings back Kyle Crane, the protagonist from the original Dying Light, which has fans buzzing with excitement. Whether you love parkour, intense combat, or surviving zombie hordes, this game promises to deliver. For more gaming news, visit Total Apex Gaming.
The game takes place in Castor Woods, a rural setting with dense forests and abandoned structures. It’s a shift from the urban environments of earlier titles, offering a fresh and eerie atmosphere. Kyle Crane’s parkour skills are back and better than ever, letting you climb and leap across the landscape. You can also drive 4×4 vehicles to get around faster. The day-night cycle returns, making zombies tougher at night, so timing is key. A standout feature is “Beast Mode,” where Crane taps into superhuman strength for devastating attacks. Check out the announcement trailer for a closer look.
Dying Light The Beast wasn’t always its own game—it started as DLC for Dying Light 2 Stay Human. After a story leak in 2023, Techland decided to make it a standalone title to protect the plot, as franchise director Tymon Smektala shared in a GamingBolt interview. Player feedback played a big role, too, especially in refining the driving mechanics, according to a PCGamesN interview. Smektala calls it the “climax” of Techland’s work on the series, combining years of experience into one package.
A summer 2025 release makes sense—gamers often have more free time then, perfect for diving into a deep survival game like this. Early previews from Gamescom 2024, like one from GameRant, praise the visuals and Crane’s return, though some, like TheGamer, question “Beast Mode.” Fans on X are hoping for a release date drop at Summer Game Fest on June 6, 2025. If you own Dying Light 2’s Ultimate Edition, you’ll get The Beast free, as confirmed on the Steam page.
Dying Light: The Beast is gearing up to be a must-play in summer 2025. With Kyle Crane leading the charge, a new setting, and intense gameplay, it’s got a lot to offer. Keep up with the latest at Total Apex Gaming’s news section. Can summer hurry up already!
