Techland confirmed at Summer Game Fest that Dying Light: The Beast will launch on August 22 for Xbox Series XS, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Anyone who purchased the Ultimate Edition of Dying Light 2 Stay Human will receive Dying Light: The Beast at no additional charge.

Dying Light: The Beast is a thrilling 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.

Kyle Crane, Dying Light protagonist, breaks free from a decade of experimentation to find the world has changed… and so has he. Explore the once-picturesque tourist destination Castor Woods in a quest for revenge. Harness Kyle’s half-human, half-zombie DNA to unleash devastating powers along with his survival and parkour skills, complete with four-player co-op support.
