In a fascinating revelation, Timon Smektala, the game director behind the Dying Light franchise, has revealed that the initial trailer for Dying Light: The Beast harbors a hidden reference to the game's setting. This clue, yet to be discovered by the community, is intricately linked to the vast forested area known as Castor Woods. Within the trailer, a barely discernible text subtly hints at the exact location of Castor Woods. This elusive detail might also shed light on the local dialect, potentially serving as the key to unraveling this intriguing mystery.
The setting of Dying Light: The Beast is speculated to be somewhere in Europe, yet the precise location remains a puzzle. The trailer showcases various signs, buildings, and environmental elements, but fans have not yet been able to pinpoint the exact reference. Historically, the Dying Light series has drawn inspiration from real-world locales. For instance, Harren in the original game was inspired by Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor in the sequel 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 an exact release date has not been announced. As the series celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, Techland has introduced special updates and events for fans, including a commemorative video thanking them for their ongoing support.
