Dying Light: The Beast News

Dying Light: The Beast developers are working on fixes for broken day-night cycles and indoor rain

Techland's Dying Light: The Beast launched last week and is, sources say, "a good Dying Light game, and a fine open-world zombie game in general, full of crunchy combat and simple but satisfying number-go-up loops". Being a new videogame, it also has some bugs. The most dramatic of these appear to be problems with its day/night cycle and weather system.

Dying Light: The Beast review

It's hard to talk about Dying Light: The Beast—the latest in Techland's open-world zombie parkour action series—without talking about its origins. While now living life as a full-priced retail game with a respectable ~20 hour campaign (and one that I enjoyed for the most part), The Beast started out as a planned expansion for Dying Light 2, itself a game that has grown, adapted and reshaped itself over the past few years, much like its genetically feisty mutant monsters.

Dying Light: The Beast has peaked at 121,222 concurrent players on 21 September 2025 within the release week.

[p]We’re aware that you're experiencing issues with Indoor Rain and the Disturbed Day/Night Cycle, and fixing them is our top priority.[/p][p]We already have a fix prepared, but because this bug only appears in rare situations, it takes a lot of extra testing.[/p][p]We'll continue these tests over the weekend and most of Monday, and if no new occurrences of this issue appear, we’ll release the hotfix to players right away on PC. This is our goal.[/p][p]If, however, we still spot any occurrences of the bug, we might need to go back, adjust the fix, and then re-test it again.[/p][p]Thank you for your patience. We know these issues are frustrating to those who experience them, and we’re doing everything we can to deliver a stable solution as soon as possible.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]
