Techland Removing Dying Light 2 Ultimate Edition From Sale After Saying Dying Light: The Beast Comes Free With It
Techland is removing the Dying Light 2: Stay Human Ultimate Edition from sale in September 2024 after promising anyone who owns it will gain access to Dying Light: The Beast for free.
In a post on X/Twitter, Techland revealed the Ultimate Edition will be removed from sale on September 30, 2024. Anyone who owns it already or buys or upgrades to it before this date will retain all features and benefits, including a free version of The Beast.
This is an upcoming four player cooperative entry that acts more as a first person shooter than a survival horror game and was originally developed as the long awaited “Story DLC 2” from Dying Light 2 before becoming a standalone project.
The $99.99 Ultimate Edition of Dying Light 2 was set to include this Story DLC 2, but as this extra content has become a full game, they’ll therefore receive it for free instead.
“Dying Light: The Beast is a full standalone adventure that started life as DLC 2,” Techland said on X/Twitter. “As such, it will be available to all owners of Dying Light 2: Stay Human Ultimate Edition at no extra cost. Thank you for your patience and we hope you like what we’re cooking up.”
The offer is seemingly intended for those who originally purchased the Ultimate Edition looking forward to the second Story DLC, however, and not just a freebie for any fan of the franchise.

It’s unclear how much The Beast will cost, though a press release from Techland originally said it would be $39.99 before it followed up to say that information was incorrect. The Ultimate Edition Upgrade, meanwhile, costs $35.
In our review of the last game, IGN said: “Dying Light 2 Stay Human is an ambitious zombie action adventure that’s packed with top-notch parkour, an awesome open world, and every painful bug in the book.” This was before Techland released myriad patches.
