Shaped by a decade of the series. As returning hero Kyle Crane, survive the open wilderness of Castor Woods and the beast awakening inside you. A perfect return for veterans, the ideal entry point for newcomers.

40+ hours, solo or shared-progression co-op.

STORY OF REVENGE

After fifteen years of brutal captivity, Kyle Crane finally escapes. But he is no longer entirely human.

Part survivor. Part monster.

Driven by revenge, Crane returns to confront the man who destroyed his life while struggling to control the beast growing inside him.

Half survivor
half beast

Play as Kyle Crane — a man left on the edge of humanity, carrying both human and zombie DNA. Build your power to unleash the beast within and fuel your fight for revenge against the man who made you this way.

Physical

combat

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.

Own the day
fear the night

A signature of the Dying Light series - the two vastly different experiences of day and night merge into one unforgettable whole. Scavenge and explore by day, mindful of the constant tension of the moving clock - as when the sun sets, the night unleashes horrors that leave you with only three choices: run, hide, or fight for your life.

Run the rooftops

rule the roads

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.

Share the story
in co-op

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.

KYLE CRANE

After surviving the horrors of Harran, Crane was captured by the Baron and spent thirteen years enduring brutal experimentation deep within the forests of Castor Woods. His mutated DNA showed a rare resistance to the virus, becoming the foundation of the Baron's research.

Now escaped and driven by revenge, Crane navigates 
a broken valley, seeking alliances while battling the internal beast within.

Olivia Bennet

Having joined the Baron's research, Olivia soon found herself trapped in his morally ambiguous efforts Olivia seizes her chance at freedom when Crane breaks out 
of the laboratory.

She joins him as both an ally and his guide through the ruins of Castor Woods. Where Crane operates on rage, Olivia brings knowledge and clarity, feeding him the information he needs to survive and strike back.

The Sheriff

Florence McCallum leads the survivors taking refuge in the Castor Woods Town Hall enforcing the community laws that keep her people alive through hard choices.

When Crane arrives looking for allies, she appears to be one of the most powerful he can find. But the Baron's grasp reaches even here.

Lydia

The Baron's experiments did not break Lydia — they made her something he never anticipated. Leading a hidden group of escaped test subjects deep in Castor Woods, she developed extraordinary telepathic abilities.

These powers enable her to manipulate the infected at will, a testament to her powerful mind.

The Baron

Marius Fischer is the last heir to a pharma dynasty that has ruled this valley for generations — and the man who held Kyle Crane prisoner for thirteen years. Cold, polished, and utterly convinced of his own superiority, the Baron does not see the outbreak as a catastrophe.

He sees it as an opportunity, and everyone in Castor Woods 
as a means to an end.

Since March 26, 2026, an enhanced version of the game has been available, combining the base experience, all previously released updates, and the new Restored Land content in one package, offering new ways to experience the apocalypse.

It includes features such as Legend Levels, New Game+, Ray tracing (PC), Nightmare Mode, dozens of new brutal finishers, hundreds of parkour and gameplay improvements, as well as visual and audio upgrades.

Restored Land is a major free update available to all existing owners of the game. New players receive it automatically as part of all available editions.

It introduces new survival rules. The world of Dying Light: The Beast lies in ruins but in Restored Land, you can reshape it. With new systems and major updates, survival takes on a whole new meaning.

Key changes:

  • Defeated infected do not respawn – you can permanently clear areas.
  • The world no longer “resets” – your actions have lasting consequences.
  • Resources are limited, and shops offer less variety at higher prices.
  • Items do not respawn – planning and resource management are essential.
  • Activities (Convoys, Dark Zones, Nests) can only be completed once.
  • Stronger survival focus – managing food, equipment, and light sources.
  • Optional One Life rule – death means the end of your run.

Restored Land is a fresh way to experience Dying Light: The Beast, offering new ways to play for old hands and an excellent jump-on point for new players.

No. The game is available in digital format only.

Finishing the main story takes around 20-40 hours.

Restored Land adds a more demanding survival layer, offering a fresh way to experience the game with permanent consequences and limited resources.

Yes. The game is fully standalone.

Knowledge of Kyle Crane’s story from the original Dying Light can enhance your experience but is not essential.

Dying Light: The Beast supports cooperative mode for up to 4 players.

Restored Land was designed as a solo experience.

The game offers multiple difficulty levels tailored to different playstyles:

  • Story – story and exploration-focused
  • Survival – balanced experience
  • Brutal – more challenge and limited resources
  • Nightmare – the most demanding difficulty with stronger, faster, more aggressive enemies and scarce resources

Additionally, Restored Land is not a difficulty level, but an alternative gameplay mode focused on solo survival, lasting consequences, and limited resources.

  • Nvidia GeForce Game Ready 581.29 (or newer)
  • Intel Game On Driver 32.0.101.7029 (or newer)
  • AMD Adrenalin 25.9.1 (or newer)
