All three will include the Definitive Edition of Dying Light: The Beast, featuring 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.
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.
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 from Super Rare Games at 4 PM CEST on September 18. 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.
