Hidden Clue in Dying Light: The Beast Trailer Points to Game's Location

In a clever twist, Dying Light franchise game director Timon Smektala revealed a hidden clue in the first trailer for Dying Light: The Beast. This secret, yet to be discovered by fans, points to the game's setting within the vast Castor Woods. A barely visible text element within the trailer itself is believed to hold the key, possibly even offering insights into the local dialect.

While speculation points towards a European setting, the exact location remains a mystery. The trailer showcases numerous architectural and environmental details, but the specific reference point alluded to by Smektala continues to elude players. Previous Dying Light games have drawn inspiration from real-world locations; Harran (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, with the exact date still under wraps. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the franchise, and Techland is celebrating with special updates, events, and a thank-you video for their loyal fans.
