In an exciting development, Timon Smektala, the game director behind the Dying Light series, has revealed that the first trailer for the upcoming title, Dying Light: The Beast, includes a hidden reference to the game's setting. This clue, yet to be discovered by fans, is embedded within the trailer and points to the expansive forested region known as Castor Woods. The clue is subtly hinted at through barely noticeable text within the video, which might also shed light on the local dialect, potentially serving as the key to unraveling the mystery.
Speculation abounds that the game's action takes place somewhere in Europe, though the exact location remains a mystery. Despite the trailer showcasing various signs, buildings, and environmental details, fans have yet to pinpoint the precise reference point. It's worth noting that previous Dying Light games have drawn inspiration from real-world locations. For instance, Harren in the original game was modeled after Istanbul, Mumbai, and Wrocław, while Villedor in the sequel combined architectural elements from Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
Dying Light: The Beast is slated for release this summer across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, though the specific date has not been announced. As the series celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, Techland is honoring fans with special updates and events, including a commemorative video that expresses gratitude for their continued support.
