The Dying Light: The Beast release date is just around the corner, and it may be sooner than you think. That's because developer Techland is celebrating the milestone of over 1 million players pre-ordering Dying Light: The Beast by bringing the launch forward by a day, as well as teasing that everyone who pre-orders the game prior to release is going to earn an "exclusive new reward" that will be revealed shortly. To find out exactly when you can start blitzing zombies, here's confirmation of the updated release date and times for Dying Light: The Beast around the world.

Dying Light: The Beast release date and times explained

(Image credit: Techland)

After previously being scheduled for release on September 19 (following a short delay from the originally planned August 22 launch), Techland has now announced that this has been brought forward by a day so the new release date for Dying Light: The Beast is September 18, 2025.

This is a simultaneous global release across all formats, so players on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC should all get access at the same time – though this does mean that those in East Asia and Australasia will have to wait until the early hours of the following day in their local timezones.

A summary of the Dying Light: The Beast release times is as follows:

  • West Coast US: September 18 @ 9am PDT
  • East Coast US: September 18 @ 12noon PDT
  • UK: September 18 @ 5pm BST
  • Central Europe: September 18 @ 6pm CEST
  • Japan: September 19 @ 1am JST
  • Eastern Australia: September 19 @ 2am AEST
  • New Zealand: September 19 @ 4am NZST

Because this is a simultaneous global release, there's no need to consider any regional location tricks to try and get a head start, so just sit back and wait for the appropriate time to arrive in your area so you can get going.
