The request has already been made several times regarding the addition of Accessibility parameters related to color blindness in Dead in daylightI study them Behavior interactive was forced to react a little after some incidents that occurred during a live show of its developers. Indeed, during a session about her personal twitch, the game designer, Ethan Larsonwas asked again by a person about the arrival of these traits. Far from being the first time the question has been asked of the game’s developers, this time the person concerned was apparently particularly upset about this new request to which he replied:
“It always gets boring to talk color-blind. […] If you keep harassing us, nothing will change. If it is done, it will be when we have time to do it, or when someone decides that it is something that needs to be done. We know a lot of players want it, we know it’s not a small number. We understood.”
The reaction probably awkward caused outrage by many people in social networks and associations who fight against this disability. After these incidents The studio decided to speak up by announcing an upcoming update on adding accessibility settings related to color blindness, while being careful to distance yourself from the comments from Ethan Larson ::
We didn’t want to reveal it that way, but we believe the time is right. We have been working on a color blind mode for some time and are planning a release soon.

We want to make sure this is done correctly. While we hope to include this in the next major release, we cannot pinpoint the release date just yet.

To demonstrate their good faith and the work that has been done on this issue for several months, The studio has presented a few previews that show different options depending on the type of color blindness. However, he continued to make it clear that even if it were ideal for them to provide these parameters from the next major update to the game, they cannot post a deadline.
