Hey Dying Light: The Beast fans, It’s Tymon here, Dying Light Franchise Director.
We’ve got something quite special for you this time. The first-ever crossover for Dying Light: The Beast is here - two icons of survival meet face to face: Dying Light: The Beast and PUBG MOBILE.
At first glance, these two worlds couldn’t be more different. One thrives on intense, close-up horror, unbounded parkour and physical, melee-centric, physics-based combat, while the other tests your nerves in heart-pounding Battle Royale matches full of big shootouts. But as our Game Director Nathan Lemaire puts it: “At their heart, what unites them is a singular, powerful focus: survival.”
That’s exactly what inspired this collaboration. The PUBG MOBILE team and Techland devs worked closely to bring the true survival-horror spirit of Dying Light into their universe - and to weave the essence of PUBG MOBILE back into Dying Light: The Beast.
A Two-way collaboration
In Dying Light: The Beast, this crossover takes the form of a new quest that unlocks after the main story quest “Power Gambit”, and begins with a mysterious radio call warning the residents of Castor Woods about you - Kyle Crane.
At the same time The Baron starts dropping weapon-filled airdrops into the valley to arm those willing to hunt you down. But naturally, you’ll want to get there first! As the quest progresses you’ll explore several locations across Castor Woods, racing to reach the drops before the Baron’s forces do. Of course there will be surprises along the way - and some serious rewards waiting at the end.
Loot, Gear, and… the Pan!
Producer of the collaboration, Wojciech Drożdż, explains that to take part in the collaboration you need to activate it at the Dying Light Outpost. You can actually do it right now here which will secure your Airdrop Finder car skin to be delivered to your in-game stash when the event starts on October 31st, and ready to be collected till the event ends November 21, 2025.
Completing the whole mission chain in-game unlocks a full set of PUBG MOBILE-themed items:
Marked Man Outfit - individual gear pieces that grant XP boosts, increased headshot damage, and stronger firearm attacks.
Battleground Keychain - a special weapon charm that increases your chances of decapitating, dismembering, or destroying enemy limbs.
The Frying Pan & Baseball Bat – two classic melee weapons that hit just as hard as they look. And yes, you can finally take out the Infected with the most iconic pan in video game history.
As Wojciech says, “Taking out Infected with cookware is just as satisfying as getting your first frying pan kill in PUBG MOBILE.”
Survival knows no platform
While Dying Light: The Beast players are diving into airdrops and frying pan chaos, PUBG MOBILE players will also get a taste of Dying Light’s horror atmosphere, facing off against zombies take straight from Dying Light: The Beast (including the Biter, Viral, and Charger), appearing across classic maps like Livik and Erangel in the themed mode and Zombie Uprising map in Metro Royale.
Keeping the lore of Dying Light: The Beast each zombie type poses a different level of threat: Biters are slow but pose a problem in groups; Virals move faster, attacking in quick succession when close; and Chargers are the toughest, with higher health and two powerful attack methods - tackle and charge. As players fight these monsters they’ll also be able to earn Genome Synthetic Booster syringe, allowing them to tap into Kyle Crane’s Beast Mode, granting enhanced mobility, extra damage reduction, and the ability to unleash the Aerial Smash attack.
Additionally, in WOW mode, running from October 20 to December 20, players will encounter five zombie types - including Charger, Viral, and three Biter variants - as well as an official crossover map themed around Dying Light: The Beast.
The PUBG MOBILE side of the collaboration is already live, so it’s a great opportunity to download the game on your mobile device, jump in and experience this unique crossover.
