In a clever twist, Dying Light franchise game director Timon Smektala revealed a hidden Easter egg 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 expansive Castor Woods. Deciphering this barely visible text might even unlock clues about the local dialect, potentially providing the key to solving the location mystery.
While speculation points to a European setting, the exact location remains a puzzle. The trailer showcases numerous architectural and environmental details, yet fans are still searching for the precise reference point. The Dying Light franchise has a history of drawing inspiration from real-world locations; Harran (in the original game) was inspired by Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor (in Dying Light 2) 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 exact date yet to be 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 continued support.
