Techland's game director, Timon Smektala, recently revealed a cleverly hidden detail in the Dying Light: The Beast debut trailer. This secret clue, yet to be discovered by fans, points to the game's setting within the vast Castor Woods. A nearly imperceptible text element within the trailer is believed to hold the key, potentially offering insights into the local dialect and helping players pinpoint the exact location.
While many speculate a European setting, the precise location remains a mystery. The trailer showcases various architectural and environmental details, but fans have been unable to definitively identify the referenced area. The Dying Light franchise has a history of basing its in-game locations on real-world counterparts: the original game's Harran drew inspiration from Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor in the sequel incorporated elements from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
Dying Light: The Beast is slated for release this summer on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles, with the specific date still under wraps. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the franchise, and Techland has celebrated with special updates, events, and a thank-you video for its loyal fanbase.
