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. Decoding this barely visible text might even unlock clues about the region's unique dialect.

While speculation points towards a European setting, the exact location remains a mystery. The trailer showcases numerous architectural and environmental details, yet fans are still searching for the precise reference. 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 tenth anniversary of the series, and Techland has celebrated with special updates, events, and a commemorative video thanking fans for their continued support.
