Techland has shared it will be providing some form of refund to owners<\/a> of the PS4 version of Dying Light 2<\/a>, as the team has cancelled the last-gen port of Dying Light: The Beast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is because when Dying Light 2 originally launched, it sold a season pass promising two pieces of DLC. The first one launched for both PS5 and PS4, and the second became The Beast, which released as a standalone product. Ultimate Edition owners on PS5 still got access to The Beast while Techland said it would continue work on the PS4 version.<\/p>\n

Now, the PS4 version is no longer happening.<\/p>\n

The team said in a social media statement<\/a> that bringing The Beast to last-gen boxes would compromise the experience too much. “This was not a matter of choosing to leave those platforms behind. Rather, it reflected the technical realities of development and our commitment to delivering the best possible experience.”<\/p>\n

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision that Dying Light: The Beast will no longer be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n

Dying Light: The Beast was built from the ground up to take full advantage of current-generation hardware. Its open world,\u2026<\/p>\n

Techland apologised for the cancellation and said anyone “who was expecting to play on either platform will be eligible for a refund”.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time a Dying Light product has been cancelled, as the first game was originally planned for PS3 but was later scrapped for a PS4-only launch.<\/p>\n

Anyone who was expecting to play Dying Light: The Beast on PS4 will have to miss out on “the series as its best”. In our PS5 review, we awarded an 8\/10 rating and said: “It embraces its silliness in the best ways across its ridiculous story, gorily violent combat, and fun to explore setting. Some level-gating issues in co-op and duller flatter terrain hold it back in spots, but to us this is the best Dying Light yet.”<\/p>\n
