"The Beast really is Dying Light 3.” - GamesRadar+
The highest-rated Dying Light game ever, shaped by a decade of Techland’s experience with the series. Everything fans love - immersion, exploration, physical FPP melee combat, grounded parkour, and the iconic day–night cycle - refined and elevated to the next level. A perfect return for veterans, and the ideal entry point for newcomers.
"Kyle Crane Steals The Show And Gives Dying Light Its Best Story Yet" - The Gamer
Dive into a gripping tale of vengeance filled with twists, shifting alliances, and characters you’re never sure you can trust. Follow Kyle Crane’s powerful journey as his fight for justice uncovers reveals dangers far greater than he ever imagined.
"Techland perfectly nailed it, the Beast Mode really makes you feel like you could tear through anything" - WCCFtech
Play as Kyle Crane, a hero with the DNA of both man and beast. Freely switch between two playstyles and face a fierce conflict that lead to the acceptance of the monster within.
"Melee combat is once again a highlight of the game, with heft behind every attempt to take out a zombie, and so many different weapons and modifiers to choose from" - Gamespot
Feel the full force of Dying Light’s most physical combat yet. Your blows land with real momentum, enemies react believably, and your emerging beast-like abilities add intensity without losing the challenge and immersion.
"The night continues to be one of Dying Light’s greatest gameplay" - GamingBIBLE
The distinct experiences of night and day, a signature of the Dying Light series, merge into one unique whole. Explore and scavenge by day, but remember the constantly ticking clock. Because once the sun sets, the night unleashes horrors that leave you with just three choices: run, hide or fight for your life.
"Running, sliding, jumping, climbing, and hopping around Castor Woods is a treat" - Kotaku
Feel the adrenaline rush of best-in-class first-person parkour. Jump from rooftop to rooftop and overcome any obstacle. And when that’s not enough, grab the wheel of an off-road vehicle and ruthlessly tear through hordes of zombies.
"Techland brings its A-game when it comes to crafting a densely interactive, photorealistic world that frequently takes my breath away" - GamesRadar+
Next-gen visuals bring the hand-crafted zombie apocalypse to life. Every detail tells a story of survival. Lose yourself in the majesty of Castor Woods: explore the tourist town, industrial area, national park, farmland, swamps and more. All full of beauty… and decay.
"Playing the game with friends is creating a different kind of experience" - GameRant
Band together with up to three other players in co-op! Brave the dangers of Castor Woods, where you can experience every encounter, every discovery and every twist as a unit with shared progress.
