Dying Light: The Beast is launching 1 day early because Techland is super jazzed about hitting 1 million pre-orders: "We pushed ourselves to make the impossible possible"
Dying Light: The Beast is now releasing exactly one day earlier than originally planned, and it's all because developer Techland is all amped up from the game hitting a million pre-orders.
In a press release, Techland said that "incredible milestone" "inspired us to push our boundaries and make the impossible possible." Thus, instead of releasing on September 19, Dying Light: The Beast will now launch on all platforms simultaneously on September 18.
"Seeing the excitement from our community for the return of Kyle Crane in Dying Light: The Beast, and knowing the game is ready, we wanted to do something special for our players," said franchise director Tymon Smektała. "We pushed ourselves to make the impossible possible, and that's why we're releasing the game a little earlier. I can't wait to see players' reactions when they finally step into the world of The Beast."

On top of the 24 hours of early playtime, Techland is also offering up an "exclusive new reward" for buying the game ahead of launch, although it's unclear exactly what the reward is. Techland just said it'll "reveal the full details during launch week" and it's "our way of showing gratitude to the fans who made this moment possible."
This will obviously change the official Dying Light: The Beast release times, so if you need a refresher on when you can start playing, you know where to click.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
