In an exciting revelation, Timon Smektala, the game director behind the acclaimed Dying Light franchise, has shared that the initial trailer for the upcoming game, Dying Light: The Beast, harbors a hidden clue about its setting. This subtle detail, which has yet to be discovered by the community, points to the expansive forested area known as Castor Woods. The clue is embedded in barely visible text within the trailer, suggesting a potential link to the local dialect that could unlock the mystery.
Speculation abounds that the game's action takes place somewhere in Europe, yet the exact location remains a puzzle. The trailer showcases various signs, structures, and environmental hints, but fans are still searching for the precise reference. In past Dying Light games, settings were inspired by real-world locales—Harren in the first game drew from Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor in the sequel blended architectural influences from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
Dying Light: The Beast is slated for a summer release on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, though an exact launch date has not been announced. As the series celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, developer Techland has introduced special updates and events for fans, including a heartfelt commemorative video thanking them for their ongoing support.
