Techland's game director, Timon Smektala, recently revealed a cleverly hidden detail in the Dying Light: The Beast debut trailer. This secret clue, buried within the video's text, points to the game's setting—the vast Castor Woods. The barely visible text may even offer clues to the local dialect, potentially unlocking the mystery of the game's precise location.
While many speculate a European setting, the exact location remains a puzzle. The trailer showcases numerous architectural and environmental details, yet fans have yet to pinpoint the specific real-world inspiration. The Dying Light franchise has a history of basing its in-game locations on real-world cities; Harran (Dying Light) drew from Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor (Dying Light 2) incorporated elements from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
Dying Light: The Beast is slated for release this summer on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles, although a specific date hasn't been announced. Techland is celebrating the franchise's tenth anniversary this year with special updates, events, and a thank-you video for fans.
