5. Dying Light: The Beast

Dying Light: The Beast is the latest game in the Dying Light series, and like its predecessors will have you blasting zombies in an open world setting. The game’s protagonist Kyle Crane is a man on a revenge mission, who was imprisoned and experimented on for more than a decade. After escaping captivity, he’s looking to get even with the people behind this. A cold, calculating and crazy scientist known as “the Baron” will be Crane’s target, and he’ll be blasting countless zombies using a variety of weapons as he fights for revenge.

As seen in the gameplay trailer below (shown during the Summer Game Fest show), you’ll get to use weapons like flame throwers, machine guns, and shotguns. Aside from this, Kyle will have beast-like powers at his disposal in the game. Riding vehicles and running over zombies with them could be fun too, while engaging in parkour through Castor Woods (which amongst other locations features an industrial park) could be fun. But will this be Polish studio Techland’s best zombie shooter to date? This remains to be seen…

Release date: September 19, 2025. Available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Also on PS4 and Xbox One (TBA 2025).
