GamesRadar’s Jasmine Gould-Wilson obliterates savage turbo-charged zombies in their glowing preview of Dying Light: The Beast, the latest entry in Techland’s survival horror series, coming to PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on Friday, Sept. 19, 2025!

Each time a Volatile – a turbo-charged zombie only active by night – looks in my direction, a Psycho-like musical sting jolts me into action as I stealthily rush for cover. Body horror-wise, The Beast doubles down on gnarly biological realism as skulls are popped, glistening brains are exposed, and limbs come flying off with each merry hack and slash of my blunt machete.
