Hidden Clue in Dying Light: The Beast Trailer Points to Game's Location

Author : Amelia Mar 19,2025

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 region. Deciphering this barely visible text might even unlock clues about the local dialect, potentially providing the key to solving the mystery of the game's exact location.

While speculation points towards a European setting, the precise location remains a puzzle. The trailer showcases numerous environmental details, buildings, and signs, yet fans have yet to pinpoint the exact real-world inspiration. This follows the tradition of previous Dying Light games, which drew inspiration from real-world cities: 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, with the exact date yet to be announced. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Dying Light franchise, and Techland has celebrated with special updates, events, and a commemorative video thanking fans for their ongoing support.
