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, tucked away in barely visible text within the video, points to the game's setting—the vast Castor Woods. Deciphering this subtle textual element might even unlock clues about the local dialect, adding another layer to the mystery.
While speculation points to a European setting, the exact location remains shrouded in secrecy. The trailer showcases numerous architectural and environmental details, yet the specific reference point linked to the hidden text eludes players. The Dying Light series has a history of drawing inspiration from real-world locations. For example, Harran (in the first game) was inspired by Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor (in Dying Light 2) blended architectural styles from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
Dying Light: The Beast is slated for release this summer on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, though a precise date hasn't been announced. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the series, and Techland is celebrating with special updates, events, and a commemorative video thanking fans for their ongoing support.
