Experience the Thrill: 30-Minute Gameplay Video
During the 2025 Summer Game Fest, Techland released a thrilling half-hour gameplay video showcasing Dying Light: The Beast. Scheduled for release on August 22, 2025, the game offers a host of exciting new features. Players can utilize the Disaster Intuition to detect Exterminators stealthily prowling the night, allowing for strategic eliminations.
Daytime gameplay introduces diverse enemy types, and players can creatively engage them using a mix of ranged and melee combat techniques.
