In a clever twist, Dying Light franchise game director Timon Smektala revealed a hidden Easter egg in the first Dying Light: The Beast trailer. This secret clue, subtly embedded in the video's text, points to the game's setting within the vast Castor Woods. Deciphering this barely visible text might even unlock clues about the local dialect, adding another layer to the mystery.
While the trailer strongly suggests a European setting, the exact location remains a puzzle. Despite numerous visual clues – buildings, environments, and other details – fans haven't yet cracked the code. This follows the tradition of previous Dying Light games, which drew inspiration from real-world cities: Harran (in the original 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 specific date is yet to be announced. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the franchise, and Techland has celebrated with special updates, events, and a thank-you video for their dedicated fanbase.
