No reason for the delay has been announced, other than the fact that it will affect all territories outside North America.
"There will be a short delay in the release of physical copies of Dying Light in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia," a statement from developer Techland posted to the game's official Facebook page explained.
"The game will have a global digital release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC of January 27, 2015. As physical production has a longer lead time than digital there is some delay in the aforementioned territories.
"We will share information on the availability of physical copies as soon as it is confirmed."
It means that on the game's launch day, only the more expensive (and non-refundable) downloadable versions are available.
You can currently pre-order the Xbox One version of Dying Light for £54.99.
The PlayStation 4 version is also available to pre-purchase for the same price - £54.99, or you can pre-order the game's Premium Edition (which includes the Dying Light season pass) for £69.99.
On Steam the game costs £39.99 to pre-purchase, or £55.99 for a bundle including the game and its season pass.
Last week Techland unveiled a 3D-printable zombie bikini statue for you to download and paint yourself. It's cheaper than buying the game, at least.
