Techland's game director, Timon Smektala, recently revealed a cleverly hidden detail in the Dying Light: The Beast debut trailer. The secret? A subtle textual clue hinting at the game's setting, specifically within the vast Castor Woods region. This cryptic message might even offer a glimpse into the local dialect, potentially providing the key to unlocking the mystery of the game's precise location.
While many speculate a European setting, the exact location remains a puzzle. The trailer showcases numerous architectural and environmental elements, yet fans have yet to pinpoint the specific real-world inspiration. The Dying Light franchise has a history of drawing inspiration from real-world cities; the original game's Harran 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 franchise's tenth anniversary, and Techland is celebrating with special in-game updates, events, and a thank-you video for its dedicated fanbase.
