11-Week Roadmap: What’s Coming to the Game
Techland’s eleven-week roadmap for Dying Light: The Beast introduces a wave of new content and improvements, focused on replayability and a deeper endgame experience.
Highlights include:
- New Game+ – Replay the story with increased difficulty and carry over your progress.
- Legend Levels – A new progression system that adds long-term goals and extra rewards.
- Nightmare Difficulty – The toughest mode yet, designed for veteran players.
- New Weapon Executions – Brutal finishing moves for more variety in combat.
- Ray Tracing Support on PC – Enhanced visuals for players with high-end hardware.
- PUBG Mobile Collaboration – A crossover event introducing themed content.
- Quality-of-Life Improvements – Various tweaks to usability and performance.
The updates will roll out gradually through January 7, 2026. Techland hasn’t revealed the exact order of releases yet but promises “more surprises” along the way. We’ll keep you posted as new details emerge.
Call of the Beast: Inside the Community Event
Running alongside the roadmap, the global community event “Call of the Beast” kicks off on October 16, 2025, and runs for eleven weeks. Each Thursday, a new community-wide challenge will unlock, tasking players around the world with hitting shared goals. The event wraps up on January 7, 2026.
How the Event Works
Every week brings a new challenge whose progress depends on the efforts of the entire community. Once a goal is met, all participants from that week earn an exclusive in-game reward delivered straight to their inventory. Rewards range from new weapons and vehicle skins to cosmetic items.
Players who complete at least 17 of the 22 objectives will unlock a secret legendary reward at the end of the event. If the community collectively achieves 20 weekly goals, everyone who participated for at least one week will receive all rewards — regardless of when they joined.
All challenges are listed on the official Dying Light Outpost site, which also tracks real-time community progress and provides weekly updates on event milestones.
