Days before the event, producer Geoff Keighley teased on Twitter (X) that Dying Light: The Beast would premiere its gameplay trailer at Summer Game Fest 2025. Developer Techland confirmed the announcement, which promised new gameplay footage and the official release date reveal.
Originally unveiled at Gamescom 2024, this standalone experience bridges Dying Light 1 and 2's narrative gap while bringing back franchise protagonist Kyle Crane. Rather than serving as a third main entry, the game offers a distinct chapter in the series' dark universe.
Techland's September 2024 Dev Blog revealed the project began as Dying Light 2 DLC before evolving into a full-fledged game. The studio has since released multiple behind-the-scenes videos detailing the game's development and its place in the franchise timeline.
Dying Light: The Beast launches August 22, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay informed about all upcoming developments by checking our latest coverage.
