Short answer: Techland has not announced a game called Dying Light 3, but it released Dying Light: The Beast as a standalone follow-up that developers themselves have referred to as “for us, it really is Dying Light 3.” The Beast is a full standalone story built around original protagonist Kyle Crane and was promoted and detailed on Techland’s official site and in multiple press interviews.

Context and what that means: The Beast began life as DLC for Dying Light 2 but grew into a larger, standalone release — Techland and franchise director Tymon Smektała have said the project matured into what the team treats as the next major Dying Light experience, even if it isn’t labeled “Dying Light 3.” Press coverage and developer interviews make clear the studio plans ongoing support for the franchise and sees The Beast as a course-correction returning to the series’ horror roots, but there’s no separate official announcement or roadmap for a numbered Dying Light 3 at this time.
