Dying Light: The Beast

Kyle Crane is back

Developed and published by Techland, Dying Light: The Beast launched on 18 September 2025 on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. According to the official site, Kyle Crane escapes after years of experiments by the Baron and seeks revenge while struggling to control the beast inside him, part human, part zombie.

What the press says

GamingBolt praises excellent traversal, strong performance, an interesting story and a good balance of survival and horror, though it finds Kyle Crane one-dimensional at times. Push Square admits it is not the most original game in the series but finds it hugely entertaining and the best Dying Light yet, despite co-op limits and flatter terrain. TheSixthAxis likes the return to zombie-focused horror, the story and the side quests, but notes visual glitches, zombies that grab too easily and overused crafting ingredients.

Platforms and prices

On 11 November 2026 the standard edition costs €59.99 on Steam, the Deluxe Edition €69.99 and the Definitive Edition €89.99. On the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store the standard edition costs €69.99. Steam lists French voice-over and text. Weapon and outfit packs sold separately are not compared here.

Who is it for?

Fans of first-person action, parkour and zombies, and players of the first Dying Light who want to see Kyle Crane again.
