Believe it or not folks, the asymmetrical horror multiplayer game Dead by daylight is somehow eight years old. Over the years, the game has incorporated several horror properties such as Scream, silent Hill, resident Evil, and more. Today as it celebrates eight long years of development Behavior interactive hosted a livestream full of announcements, including references to the Roadmap for the coming year. The biggest news today was about next season Dungeons Theme, the revelation of an upcoming Castlevania collaboration later this year and the announcement that cross-progression would finally come to the game.
Dead by daylightThe upcoming season, which begins on June 6th, is based on Dungeonswhich has experienced quite a resurgence in the last decade thanks to people like von Stranger Things And Critical roleand is apparently more popular and profitable than ever before Baldur’s Gate 3 is some clue. As part of the season, the game will receive a new survivor, a new killer and a new map taken directly from the popular tabletop role-playing game.
As a survivor Dead by daylight Players can play as the bard Aestri Yazar, who comes to the game with his own set D&D-inspired perks based on bard class. These benefits include the ability to use Bardic Inspiration to empower other nearby survivors, and Mirrored Illusion, which allows the Bardic Survivor to cast a static copy of themselves in certain situations to trick the killer. They are no Nicolas Cagebut they will do it.
Dead by daylightThe newest killer is none other than Vecna, the Archlich, who has also gained massive popularity in recent years thanks to his inclusion in the series penultimate season of Stranger Things a few years ago. When playing as a Lich Killer, you can use up to four custom spells D&Dincluding Mage Hand, Fly, Flight of the Damned and Banishing Sphere.
To defend against this immensely powerful creature, survivors may encounter treasure chests around the map that grant them up to two pieces of magical armor: a pair of gauntlets and a pair of boots. Each of these items reacts to the use of one of Vecna’s spells, specifically revealing the killer’s aura or things the killer has affected with the spells. Occasionally, survivors will come across the Hand or Eye of Vecna, even rarer items that give them an advantage over the killer.
Although Dead by daylight‘S D&D With the chapter releasing in full later in June, players can now experiment with many of the new season’s features and additions on the playable test build server.
Incredibly, that wasn’t the only new expansion Dead by daylight that was teased. Behavior Interactive also announced that it would be focusing on one of its upcoming licensed chapters later this summer KonamiIt’s extremely collaborative Castlevania Franchise. The developers offered little more than a teaser trailer, in which the series’ big bad, Dracula, is seen standing in front of the iconic silhouette of the titular castle before transforming into a swarm of ravenous bats, in what could be a foretaste of his abilities could, if he undoubtedly comes into play as a killer. The behavior says it will talk about it Castlevania Chapter begins August 6th.
In addition to these important content additions, Behavior also updates numerous aspects of Dead by daylight, including killers, perks and cards, but the biggest change coming is the inclusion of cross-progression. The sought-after function that is a basic component for many Live service games Available on various platforms today, will arrive later this summer. Players wishing to use cross-progression must have at least the base game on the desired platform and a Behavior account.
Behavior is currently working on six planned chapters for Dead by daylight ninth year, several in-game events, a new 2v8 mode in July, a narrative game in DbD Universe developed together with Supermassive Games (Until dawn) called The cast of Frank Stone, and apparently even more. It seems obvious to me that if you love everything related to horror, Dead by daylight is probably the right game for you. Considering it’s now eight years old, who’s to say it won’t last another eight years?
