Techland’s Tymon Smektala has stated during an interview with Insider Gaming that the studio is treating the upcoming Dying Light: The Beast as Dying Light 3.
In case you weren’t aware, Dying Light: The Beast was originally conceived as DLC for Dying Light 2, but evolved into a standalone adventure that offers more than 20 hours of gameplay. As such, Techland views The Beat as a whole new game in its own right, and even though it lacks as ‘3 in the title, the studio considers in the third Dying Light game.
We reset the whole development. This is a new game. At some point, a few months ago, we basically started treating The Beast as the next entry in the Dying Light series. Maybe it doesn’t have ‘3′ in it, but for us, it is Dying Light 3. We also realised that with all the experience we got from the first game and the second game, we can make it the best Dying Light game we have ever done.

We are very confident about Dying Light: The Beast. We feel that we have delivered a very interesting game in the universe of Dying Light but also generally as an open world action survival game. We want to spend the next nine weeks on educating and explaining to people and trying to convince people that they should look at it as the next AAA Dying Light game.
Dying Light: The Beast is due out on August 22, 2025 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
