Dying Light The Beast release date, gameplay, and more

Overview

  • Dying Light: The Beast launched September 18 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series after a short delay for polish.
  • Techland released Patch 1.2 and a 1.2.1 hotfix, with the hotfix correcting indoor rain and a disturbed day–night cycle reported after launch.
  • Patch 1.2 reduces frustration from frequent enemy grabs by letting players above level 11 break free instantly, alongside various bug fixes.
  • The game, which began as planned Dying Light 2 DLC, is a standalone starring returning protagonist Kyle Crane; Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition owners received it at no extra cost.
  • Early critiques diverge: outlets like Eurogamer highlight entertaining combat and Alpine vistas, while ComicBook.com’s 2/5 review faults clunky parkour, repetitive fights, and a thin story.
