Flamethrower, Nightmares, and Beast Mode. Fresh Gameplay of Dying Light: The Beast
Techland showcased new gameplay of Dying Light: The Beast. The developers are preparing the game for release on September 19, 2025, and presented an extended segment demonstrating the atmosphere and key mechanics.
The studio made an appearance at Gamescom, where one of the invited guests was game director Tymon Smektała. He conducted a detailed presentation for the Microsoft audience, revealing fresh details about the project.
During the presentation, viewers were shown one of the side missions. The authors wanted to demonstrate the dynamics of the gameplay, so the task begins during the day and continues at night — the time of day will once again become a factor of risk and tension.
The developers emphasized that The Beast will bring back familiar techniques from the series, but there will also be new ways to fight the infected. Among them are a flamethrower, as well as a unique "beast" mode. This element gives the player access to furious attacks that allow them to act faster and become almost elusive to hordes of zombies.
Techland is betting on a combination of classic mechanics and fresh ideas to expand players' capabilities and maintain the tension of survival in an infected city.
