Play as Kyle Crane, a legendary hero who breaks free after years of brutal experiments. Now, he must realize there’s more at stake than just revenge.

Dying Light: The Beast is a thrilling 18+ hours standalone zombie adventure set in the post-apocalyptic Castor Woods, a once-popular tourist destination. After 13 years of enduring experiments, you escape and hunt down your captors to seek retribution, only to discover there’s far more at stake. 

While the region is not as populated as it once was, there are still people and factions here, as well as plenty of horrors. Some will ask for your help, others will want to kill you. And that’s not to mention the mysterious creature that’s turned the woods into its personal hunting grounds.

Techland has revealed the upcoming 11-week post-launch roadmap for Dying Light: The Beast, introducing new content, highly requested features, and a global community initiative - Call of the Beast.

11 Week Roadmap

Following the successful launch of Dying Light: The Beast and its enthusiastic reception from players, Techland is entering the next phase of post-release support. 

Over the coming weeks, players can look forward to a series of updates focused on replayability and endgame depth, including the anticipated New Game+, Legend Levels, and Nightmare Difficulty. The roadmap will also bring new weapon executions, Ray Tracing support on PC, an exciting collaboration with PUBG Mobile, and even more surprises yet to come!

Call of the Beast

Techland has announced Call of the Beast, a global community initiative inviting Dying Light: The Beast players to unite and prove their strength together. The event begins on October 16 and runs until January 7, 2026, introducing new challenges and exclusive rewards every Thursday for a total of 11 weeks.

Throughout the campaign, players around the world will take on weekly goals that celebrate teamwork, persistence, and the power of the Dying Light community. Each challenge offers exclusive rewards that appear directly in participants’ in-game stash once objectives are met. From new weapons to unique car skins, every week brings fresh surprises and reasons to celebrate the collective success of the community.To get the weekly rewards, players will need to contribute to the goal that week.

Sticking together with the community to complete at least 17 of the 22 goals will unlock a secret Legendary Reward, which players will receive at the end of the event. Additionally, if the community completes 20 goals, everyone who participated in at least one challenge will receive all the rewards, regardless of when they began taking part in Call of the Beast! 

Becoming part of The Beast pack is easy. With joint effort, every player can rise to the occasion, show their strength, and conquer what seems impossible and grab 22 exclusive rewards. To find out the week’s challenge and its rewards, the community’s progress and more about Call of the Beast, players can check out the dedicated page on Dying Light Outpost.

With Call of the Beast, Techland continues to celebrate its global player community, encouraging cooperation and friendly competition among Dying Light fans. The first challenge launches this Thursday, October 16.

Key Features:

• BECOME THE LEGENDARY HERO: You are Kyle Crane, the man whose selflessness during the initial virus outbreak saved many from a fate worse than death. After more than a decade in captivity, you find yourself in a world that’s changed, and not for the better. Now, you’ll need to use the survival skills that kept you alive all those years ago to save even more innocent lives.
• EXPLORE A TIGHTLY-CRAFTED OPEN WORLD: Welcome to Castor Woods! This once-bustling tourist destination is home to a diminishing number of survivors and an increasing population of zombies. Featuring natural landmarks, small villages and industrial complexes, the setting offers diverse traversal options, whether it’s using your parkour skills to gain the upper hand on your enemies or hopping into an abandoned 4x4 to outrun the horrors of the night.
• UNLEASH THE BEAST TO SURVIVE: They caged you like an animal. Years of brutal experimentation took its toll, but the zombie DNA and yours are now intertwined so that you are able to unleash a beast-like power. It flows through your veins. No one can take it from you. Use it. And you’ll discover it’s not just a curse.
• SAVOR THE DAY, OUTLAST THE NIGHT: The day brings many possibilities to explore the region and make the most of your time while the sun is still out. But after sundown, the laws of nature take their course. Darkness tends to bring out the worst in the horde, leaving you with no other choice but to run, hide, or fight.
• SURVIVING IS EASIER IN 4-PLAYER CO-OP: Sometimes it’s best to stick to a group. You never know what you might come across on your adventure. Team up in up to 4-player co-op, or ride solo if you have the guts to take it
  all on your own.

Dying Light: The Beast is available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
