In a clever twist, Dying Light franchise game director Timon Smektala revealed a hidden detail in the first trailer for Dying Light: The Beast. This secret clue, subtly embedded in the video’s text, points to the game’s setting within the vast Castor Woods. Decoding this barely visible text may even unlock insights into the region's unique dialect, offering a crucial piece of the puzzle.
While speculation points to a European setting, the exact location remains a mystery. The trailer showcases numerous architectural and environmental details, yet players haven't yet cracked the code. Previous Dying Light games have drawn inspiration from real-world locations—Harran (in the first game) was inspired by Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor (in the sequel) blended architectural elements from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
Dying Light: The Beast is slated for release this summer on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, with the precise date yet to be announced. This year marks the franchise's tenth anniversary, and Techland is celebrating with special updates, events, and a commemorative video thanking fans for their continued support.
