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 embedded in the trailer's text, points to the game's setting within the vast Castor Woods. Deciphering this barely visible text may also unlock clues about the local dialect, potentially offering a crucial piece of the puzzle.

While speculation points towards a European setting, the exact location remains a mystery. The trailer showcases numerous buildings and environmental details, yet fans are still searching for the precise reference point. This follows the tradition of previous Dying Light games, which drew inspiration from real-world locations: Harran (in the original game) was inspired by Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor (in the sequel) blended architectural elements 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 yet to be announced. This year marks the franchise's tenth anniversary, and Techland has celebrated with special updates, events, and a commemorative video thanking fans for their continued support.
