New on Steam. Dying Light: The Beast takes the spotlight this week, joined by loads of DLCs

by

Welcome to the series that discusses the most important upcoming releases on Steam. It’s going to be a bit quieter this week – one big blockbuster is going to take over. There will be many expansions for that.

Release of the week is Dying Light: The Beast (September 18, 2025)

This week, we had no doubts about which game to pick as the release of the week. Dying Light: The Beast is the latest installment of the hit first-person action game series from Techland. The title is supposed to be a return to the atmosphere and high level of difficulty from the first installment. At the same time, it will also offer a lot of new features, partly because the main character will be a hybrid of a human and a zombie.

Crowds are waiting for the game – over a million people have already bought the game in preorder. This will definitely be the biggest launch of the week and one of the biggest of the entire September.
