The developers ofDead by Daylightrecently shared some interesting changes that will be coming to the game in the future. The game is still going strong asDead by Daylight’s 9th year roadmapshows various planned content releases throughout the year. While most are still a mystery by this point, the Behaviour Interactive team did share some insight on some small updates inbound.
Most fans would argue thatDead by Daylightis considered to be one of the best asymmetrical multiplayer games. And while this may prove true to some, there still exists a lot of concerns and fan requests that the team hasn’t fully explored or explained to this day. However, the Behaviour Interactive team are looking to share some of their internal discussions, as well as planned updates for the coming years, and they’ve done so via a Reddit AMA.
In an officialDead by DaylightDeveloper AMA on Reddit, various topics were discussed by the team. One of the biggest issues covered was the long-awaited update to Freddie Krueger, Michael Myers, as well as internal talks on how to addressDead by Daylight’s Skull Merchantconcern. While some comments questioned why the updates to the said characters would be taking long, it was a welcome change that many wanted for quite some time. The Swamp was also said to be due for updating. However, the somewhat general statement regarding when it was going to be changed left some commenters wanting more answers.
While the bulk of the AMA mostly referred to Easter Eggs, visual details, and lore inquiries, there were actually some interesting notes that were also discussed. The Remote Hooking feature which was introduced duringDead by Daylight’s Twisted Masqueradeevent was said to be a killer ability that the team was trying to study amid the negative feedback, but the backlash was massive. Other responses were vague, while others were deemed as secrets that weren’t meant to be discussed. However, it was hinted that some of the questions were going to be answered in future in-game updates.
Another big topic discussed was the nature of cosmetics in the game. It has long been a community concern that several characters were getting more costumes than others, and some have even mentioned as to why someoutfits remain exclusive toDead by Daylight Mobile. Sadly, the team confirmed that while they have been trying to balance out content releases within the characters, the popularity of each Survivor contributes to who gets more options for clothing and skins.
While a lot of the questions remained unanswered, it was assured by the developers who answered the AMA that these were because they didn’t want to spoil any of the future chapters. Some inquiries were tied directly to upcoming content that will be released soon, and this garnered some positive feedback and excitement from the community. It seemsDead by Daylight’s future is still bright and strong, and that the team has implied their commitment to keeping the game better continuously.
