Dying Light: The Beast Has Been Delayed so the Studio Can Make It 'Best Dying Light Game' Ever
GLOBAL, JUL 24 – Techland postponed Dying Light: The Beast to September 19 to enhance gameplay balance, user interface, physics, and animations following positive preview feedback, the developer said.
- On Friday, Developer Techland delayed Dying Light: The Beast, moving it from its August 22 launch to September 19 to allow for extra polishing work.
- Amid debates over game length, Smektala defended the idea that shorter games can bring a more satisfying experience, noting `Size is not everything`, and explained the upcoming Dying Light: The Beast will only be 20 hours long.
- Referencing titles like Alan Wake 2 and Control, Smektala noted that open worlds are not about scale and that finishing expansive titles feels like a chore.
- At this year’s gamescom, The Beast is playable via a public demo, and over 150 previews released this week reported a universally positive response.
- Ahead of the September release date, Techland says the next month will be used to polish key aspects, focusing on gameplay balance, UI clarity, physics quality, and animation tweaks.
