Fans of Dead by Daylight will have more ways to interact with the game’s IP and story in the near future. A recent announcement from Behaviour Interactive has revealed that two new games based on the world of Dead by Daylight are currently in the works. These Dead by Daylight games will focus on single-player interactive experiences and co-op PvE gameplay, introducing two new ways to enjoy Dead by Daylight.
To assist with the projects, Behaviour Interactive is partnering with a couple of studios to develop the games. For the single-player title, Behaviour Title will be working with Supermassive Games, a studio that’s made single-player horror experiences in Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology (Devil in Me, Man of Medan). Here’s what Traci Tufte, Executive Producer at Supermassive Games, had to say about the single-player title:
We’ve been working hard to blend the tension, agency, and branching storytelling of a Supermassive game together with Dead by Daylight’s mythology to create an intense and narrative experience filled with powerful life or death choices. Our game will be set outside The Entity’s Realm and feature the story of a new cast of characters who players will follow for an unprecedented experience from beyond The Fog.
More information on the single-player title will also be announced sometime later this year.
As for the PvE title, it will be worked on by Midwinter Entertainment, a studio under Behaviour Interactive. Though brief, the devs did talk a bit about the game. Here’s how producer Audrey Mladina described the project:
The themes in our new game will center around greed and the lust for power. These will be present in both the gameplay itself and in the stories of the characters who were tempted to enter a strange, new corner of The Entity’s Realms. Our vision is to create a multiplayer PvE experience where instead of acing off against each other, up to four players can team up, enter anohter one of The Entity’s Realms, and take on a host of deadly enemies that occupy it.
The Dead by Daylight PvE title is still pretty early in development, so we may not hear from Midwinter Entertainment for a while until the game’s fleshed out even further.
The two upcoming games aim to further expand the world of Dead by Daylight, with the game also receiving a series of updates throughout Year 8. Once we know more about these Dead by Daylight games, we’ll let you know.
