Techland is celebrating the first anniversary of the release of Dying Light: The Beast in a big way. Not only are they giving both returning and existing players new reasons to come back to Castor Woods, but have also teamed up with Super Rare Games for three different physical editions of the game for the PlayStation 5.
As a warm-up for the real festivities to celebrate the anniversary, Techland has launched a Double XP Event, giving both existing and new players an extra reason to jump into the game before the main anniversary celebrations begin.
The Call of the Beast: Anniversary Edition will run for three weeks, featuring global community goals and weekend boons that players can vote for. Reaching each weekly goal will unlock special anniversary rewards, including the unique outfit and stylish weapon inspired by Castor Woods.
Players can also look forward to daily Crane’s Anniversary Drops, with a new surprise waiting each day just for logging in. The rewards will include a mix of in-game items and digital anniversary goodies to celebrate the occasion. And every Friday, players can claim an exclusive weapon to use during Call of The Beast.
As for the new physical PS5 edition of the game, all three physical editions will include the Definitive Edition of Dying Light: The Beast, which includes all post-launch updates.
The Retail Version includes the game on PlayStation 5 and a game manual. This version will be available with an unlimited pre-order quantity.
Meanwhile, the Super Rare Games Edition includes the game and manual, plus an SRG sticker, an exclusive metallic slipcover and a numbered SRG release. This version will be available in a limited pre-order quantity.
Finally, the Anniversary Edition is designed for the ultimate Dying Light: The Beast fans. It includes the game together with a collection of physical items inspired by Castor Woods and will also be available in limited quantities.
All physical editions will be available to pre-order now from Super Rare Games. Additionally, The Super Rare Games Edition and Anniversary Edition will be available as limited pre-orders until October 16th, with final quantities announced once the ordering window closes.
