Dead by Daylight is a remarkably successful ongoing game, and its developer, Behaviour Interactive, is going all-out to celebrate the game’s 10th anniversary.
As a huge fan, I’m completely blown away by the release plan they just announced! It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen – there’s so much coming, I honestly don’t even know what to be most excited about first!
As we previously shared, Jason Voorhees is coming to the game, and he won’t be alone! A new survivor, Shane Wiigwaas, who is Native American, will also be joining the fight.
Beyond team-ups with popular franchises like Scooby Doo and Terrifier, the biggest announcement from their 90-minute anniversary livestream was probably the planned visual update, which is scheduled for 2027.
This isn’t simply a cosmetic update; we’ve rebuilt the models from scratch with all-new animations, hairstyles, and dialogue. Check out the comparison images above to see how much better they look!
Behaviour is rebuilding several of the original maps and introducing changing weather conditions to make each game feel new. You might find yourself battling in a light rain shower one match, and a heavy thunderstorm the next – it’s all designed to ensure no two matches are exactly alike.
There’s honestly so much to recap in the 10th anniversary stream, but just some of the headlines:
- Thordur Palsson of The Valhalla Murders has boarded the Dead by Daylight movie project as a director.
- The Black Banquet is an upcoming in-game event designed to celebrate the release’s anniversary later this month.
- The Casting of Frank Stone, the Supermassive Games narrative spin-off of Dead by Daylight, is coming to the main game.
- A new mall map with liminal spaces is in-development for the release, inspired by fan feedback.
- Eddie from Iron Maiden is getting a skin in the game, while Silent Hill F’s Hinako Shimizu will be added as a skin for existing survivor Cheryl Mason.
- Damien Leone’s Terrifier is coming to Dead by Daylight in a future crossover collaboration.
Okay, so the Dead by Daylight fanbase can be intense, but honestly, it’s amazing how much the game has become about celebrating all things horror. It’s really grown into something special!
Behaviour has faced some criticism for creating a team focused on generative AI. However, the company has stated it won’t use this technology to create content for its games, and so far, there’s no reason to believe they aren’t being truthful.
I’m really impressed with the updated graphics and the new content they’re showing off. Here’s hoping for another ten years of great support!
