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 Easter egg in the first trailer for Dying Light: The Beast. This secret clue, subtly woven into the video's text, points to the game's setting within the vast Castor Woods. Deciphering this barely visible text might even unlock clues about the local dialect, adding another layer to the mystery.

While speculation points towards a European setting, the exact location remains a puzzle. The trailer showcases numerous architectural and environmental details, yet the specific reference point eludes players. The Dying Light series has a history of drawing inspiration from real-world locations; Harran (in the first game) was inspired by Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor (in Dying Light 2) blended architectural elements from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.

Dying Light: The Beast is slated for release this summer on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, though a precise date is yet to be announced. 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.
