Fans Get Dying Light: The Beast One Day Early as Launch Date Shifts
Techland has announced that Dying Light: The Beast is officially releasing one day earlier than previously planned. Instead of the September 19th, 2025 launch, the game will now drop on September 18th.
Why the early move, you may ask? Because the game hit a major milestone: over 1 million pre-orders across all platforms. The dev team said this pushed them to go the extra mile, calling it “inspired us to push our boundaries and make the impossible possible.”
They also announced there’s an exclusive reward for pre-order buyers. Now what kind of reward that might be is still under wraps, though we will be getting more info during launch week. Previously announced pre-order bonus the “Hero of Harran Bundle” is included for those who preorder before the early launch, which includes cosmetics, weapons, etc.
The update isn’t just about the date — there are official global times for when the game unlocks. The launch is simultaneous across platforms on the new date: September 18th, 2025.
Here are a few key time zones:
Region Launch Time
Pacific (US) Sep 18 — 9:00 a.m. PT
Eastern (US) Sep 18 — 12:00 p.m. ET
UK / BST Sep 18 — 5:00 p.m. BST
Central Europe / CEST Sep 18 — 6:00 p.m. CEST
Meanwhile, for many Asia/Oceania time zones, the release will happen early on September 19, local time.
With just days to go, Techland’s decision to push the launch forward is a rare win for fans who usually brace for delays instead. Whether it’s the promise of exclusive pre-order rewards, the global simultaneous launch, or simply the excitement of diving into Techland’s next nightmare early, Dying Light: The Beast is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most anticipated releases, and now, players don’t have to wait quite as long.

I created this website as I feel the state of the games industry and games reporting as a whole has gotten overly negative and full of clickbait. While I understand both of these are a great way to generate engagement, it’s a detriment to those gamers (like myself) that are just trying to enjoy games and not have to worry about the negativity of the current state of the gaming industry. I want a space where gamers can come for unbiased news that doesn’t rely on clickbait or rumours with a dash of humour and have the opportunity to share their passion for games.
