Dying Light: The Beast Launch Times Revealed, Release Date Moved Up

Dying Light’s expansion, The Beast, won’t be out on September 19 as initially planned. Instead, it will arrive a day earlier on September 18! This shift is to celebrate hitting 1 million in pre-orders. Plus, Techland has shared the specific launch times worldwide for this exciting release.

The developer expressed that these impressive preorder numbers motivated them to stretch their limits and turn the seemingly unachievable into reality. Furthermore, Techland shared that those who preorder will receive a special in-game gift, with specifics to be revealed at a later time.

In their own effort to transform the seemingly unachievable into reality, the team behind Dying Light has decided to bring the game forward a bit. I’m truly excited to witness the responses from players once they enter the realm of The Beast for the first time. – Tymon Smektała, Dying Light boss.
