In a fascinating revelation, Timon Smektala, the game director behind the Dying Light series, has shared that the initial trailer for Dying Light: The Beast harbors a concealed hint about the game's backdrop—a detail yet to be unearthed by enthusiasts. This clue is linked to the vast forested area dubbed Castor Woods, with its precise whereabouts subtly suggested through nearly imperceptible text within the trailer. Furthermore, this textual hint might shed light on the local dialect, potentially serving as the crucial element to unraveling the enigma.
Speculation points towards the action taking place somewhere in Europe, yet the specific location continues to be a puzzle. Despite the trailer showcasing various signs, structures, and environmental cues, pinpointing the exact reference remains a challenge for players. In past iterations, Dying Light was inspired by real-world locales—Harren in the original game drew from Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, whereas Villedor in the sequel melded architectural influences from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
Dying Light: The Beast is slated for release this summer on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, with the precise launch date still under wraps. Marking the series' tenth anniversary this year, Techland has introduced special updates and events for its fans, including a tribute video thanking them for their unwavering support.
