In a clever twist, Dying Light franchise game director Timon Smektala revealed a hidden clue in the first trailer for Dying Light: The Beast. This secret, yet to be discovered by fans, points to the game's setting within the vast Castor Woods. A barely visible text element within the trailer itself holds the key, potentially offering insights into the local dialect and unlocking the mystery of the game's precise location.
While speculation points to a European setting, the exact location remains a puzzle. The trailer showcases numerous environmental details, buildings, and signs, yet the specific reference point eludes players. Previous Dying Light games have drawn inspiration from real-world locations: the original game's Harran was inspired by Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor in the sequel blended architectural styles from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
Dying Light: The Beast is slated for release this summer on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, with the exact date still under wraps. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the franchise, and Techland is celebrating with special updates, events, and a commemorative video thanking fans for their continued support.
