So, especially for players who haven’t played the originalDying LightorDying Light 2 Stay Humanrecently, or at all, these games are highly worth revisiting.
With a newDying Lightgame coming out soon, right now is a great time to play the existing two games for a fresh playthrough in 2025, to get a refresher onKyle Crane’s ongoing storybefore the next chapter becomes available inDying Light: The Beast.

Not to mention, withthe fan-favoriteThe FollowingDLCbeing a canon part of this journey, this is the perfect excuse for another playthrough of this beloved DLC.
Dying Light: The Beastdoesn’t have an exact release date yet, though it’s anticipated to be released sometime in 2025.
By now, the originalDying Lighthas celebrated its 10th anniversary, and its unique parkour elements in both exploration and combat make it a one-of-a-kind game to this day.
