Dying Light: The Beast Pre-Order Editions, Prices & More

The latest installment in the Dying Light series, The Beast, originally planned as a DLC for Dying Light 2, has evolved into a standalone title with an earlier-than-anticipated launch. This spiritual successor reintroduces Kyle Crane, the protagonist from the first game, now equipped with enhanced skills and gear. Shifting focus from human drama to the viral outbreak’s core, developer Techland maintains narrative secrecy while confirming key gameplay elements. Players can expect a fresh perspective on the infection’s impact within the game world.

Pre-purchase options and pricing structures are now available for those eager to dive into this expanded vision. Explore edition details, in-game bonuses, and platform specifics below.

Mark your calendars for August 22, 2025 – the arrival date for this survival horror experience across PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam/Epic Games Store. Owners of Dying Light 2’s Ultimate Edition receive complimentary access, honoring previous DLC commitments through publisher goodwill. Originally conceived as story expansion, The Beast’s development scale surpassed DLC parameters, prompting its independent release strategy. This approach mirrors recent gaming trends where substantial content grows beyond its initial scope.
