The Polish studio is open to bringing Dying Light: The Beast to Nintendo’s next-gen console, but they’re waiting to see how the game performs first.

Techland recently expressed interest in accelerating the release cycle of Dying Light games. Speaking with WCCFTech, franchise director Tymon Smektala said he would love to see Dying Light: The Beast come to the Nintendo Switch 2, though no official announcement has been made yet.

The studio is likely holding off on a decision until they assess the game’s performance on other platforms. If the numbers look good, a Switch 2 version is definitely on the table.

Smektala also spoke about the game’s technical progress thanks to updates made to the in-house C-Engine: “We’ve significantly enhanced the visuals. Our in-house C-Engine has gone through several iterations. Now, all the weather effects, rendering of materials, lighting, shadows, and how the sun moves in the sky – all of these aspects are on a completely different level compared to Dying Light 2: Stay Human.”

Dying Light: The Beast is one of the few titles still supporting last-gen consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2025, nearly five years after the launch of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. From a hardware standpoint, the Nintendo Switch 2 should be capable of running it – so the decision is more about market viability than technical feasibility.

The original Dying Light only arrived on the Nintendo Switch six and a half years after its 2015 release, bundled as the Platinum Edition including all DLC. Whether Techland will repeat that approach for what many consider the franchise’s unofficial third entry remains to be seen. Let’s not forget that Dying Light 2: Stay Human was originally planned for the Switch as a cloud version – a project that never came to fruition.
