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 within the video's text, points to the game's location within the vast Castor Woods region. Decoding this barely visible text may even offer clues to 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 alluded to by Smektala continues to elude players. Previous Dying Light games have famously drawn inspiration from real-world cities—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 remains unannounced. Techland is celebrating the franchise's tenth anniversary this year with special updates, events, and a commemorative video thanking fans for their unwavering support.
