Techland announces an update for Dying Light: The Beast
Polish studio Techland has announced plans for further development of its open‑world zombie action game *Dying Light: The Beast*. In the coming weeks players can expect a major update and a new edition of the game.
What’s included in “Restored Land”
* Release date – March 26.
* Format – free add‑on for everyone who already purchased the game.
* Content – the game itself plus all available post‑release improvements and new content from the Restored Land update.
Key changes
In a behind‑the‑scenes video, IGN interviewed franchise head Tymon Smektala and *Dying Light: The Beast* producer Bartłomiej Witych, who explained that Restored Land is not just a bundle of new items. It’s a fundamental overhaul of the world interaction mechanics:
| What changes | How it looks |
|---|---|
| Zombie revival | Killed monsters no longer come back to life |
| Food and resources | Supplies are replenished less often; containers hold fewer items, and stores have a smaller selection and higher prices |
| Lantern | Lantern battery drains faster |
| Survival mechanics | Ignoring basic systems (e.g., not keeping food) results in penalties |
Additional innovations
* Roadkill Rallies – team challenges to kill zombies.
* Hardcore mode with one life per playthrough.
* New quests, trophies, and achievements.
* Gameplay and performance improvements.
Original release
* *Dying Light: The Beast* launched on September 18 2025 for PC (Steam, EGS), PS5, Xbox Series X/S.
* The game received a score of 75–79 % on Metacritic and 87 % on the Valve platform, with over 54,000 “very positive” reviews.
Thus, Restored Land promises to make the game world more realistic and demanding for players, while offering fresh challenges for those who want to test their survival skills.
