Have the Beast Summer Ever with Dying Light: The Beast!

Techland kicks off the Castor Woods campaign for Dying Light: The Beast - and its star is none other than Bober the Beaver.

Wondering what a cute and friendly beaver is doing in the promotion of a survival horror game? Let us explain.

Tymon Smektała, Franchise Director:

“While working on the world of Dying Light: The Beast, it was important to us that it be filled with hidden stories and small, interesting details that make the world feel more lively and immersive. At one point, our artists pitched the idea of including beavers in the worldbuilding – and we loved it. What started as a small environmental detail quickly evolved into something much bigger...”

Katarzyna Tarnacka-Polito, Art Director:

“Part of the Castor Woods locations are flooded. When we started asking ourselves why, our brainstorms led us to beavers. We created a backstory especially for this purpose: the Castor Woods valley has always been home to a large beaver population. Without humans around to keep them in check, the beavers reshaped the flow of rivers, and the valley was flooded as a result. From there, we just kept expanding the idea… ”

Over time, beavers became a symbol of the region and a kind of mascot for the natural reserve. Developers loved the idea so much that they placed beavers in many parts of the game - statues, posters, logos of local companies, even the coat of arms. To us, they’ve become the spirit of Castor Woods.

And now, below (please scroll down) is a message from Bober himself.

Help him spread the word about Castor Woods being the go-to vacation spot this summer - and don’t miss his official trailer, where he invites you to visit the woods… if you dare.

My name’s Bober the Beaver, and I’m your very own Castor Woods Tour Rep. Now, you might be curious why a beaver like myself is writing to you. Well, let me tell you!

Right now, vacation season’s in full swing, and you’re probably thinkin’, “Oh man, it’s so hot now, and it's been so long since I had some time off. I wish I was relaxing somewhere nice, with fresh air, luscious nature… and maybe even a cool beaver nearby.” Well, we've got all that and more! I know, I know... you need convincing. So here’s a brand new commercial that I filmed, all by myself!



You see? Castor Woods isn't just a destination, it's the vacation of a LIFETIME. Yes, this place has its…charm.
It’s full of surprises with a lot to discover, and a few secrets just under the surface to keep things exciting!

But, you might be curious about what kind of connection beavers have with "Castor Woods". Well, let me tell you, it's right in the name! Did you know that "Castor" is actually the scientific name for beaver? That's right! Castor Woods literally means "Beaver Woods," and you'll quickly see why when you visit! A small hint: beavers once saved the valley from a great flood by building a huge dam, and ever since then, they’ve become an official symbol of the region.

As for myself, I'm Castor Woods' favorite mascot and it's my absolute passion to make sure every single visitor receives a warm welcome and feels right at home. I truly love this place, and I will personally make sure your trip will be the best it can be!
