Dying Light: The Beast Dev Has Bad News for Some Fans
Techland, the developer behind 2025’s Dying Light: The Beast, has announced that the survival horror RPG will not be coming to PS4 and Xbox One after all. Originally planned as a cross-generation release, Dying Light: The Beast continues the series’ focus on open-world exploration, brutal combat, and fast-paced parkour.
Released in September 2025, the latest title in the post-apocalyptic zombie-stomping franchise was originally intended to be an expansion to Dying Light 2 Stay Human. Eventually growing into a full, standalone experience, The Beast brings back original protagonist Kyle Crane while offering its own story, setting, and numerous gameplay improvements. Techland introduced enhanced combat and enhanced exploration, as well as co-op multiplayer and crossplay support to Dying Light: The Beast.
Dying Light: The Beast Will Remain a Current-Gen Offering
In a statement shared on Twitter, Techland explained that it has made the decision to drop plans to bring Dying Light: The Beast to PS4 and Xbox One. The decision, says the developer, came down to technical limitations. The Beast was built from the ground up to take advantage of current-gen hardware, with its open world, visuals, and fluid combat and traversal systems relying on processing power and memory that previous-generation consoles cannot provide.
