Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

The game features procedurally generated levels, so players never experience a repetitive map. Be the killer and massacre all your victims before they escape, by using your speed and power in 1st person, or team up with your friends to try and outwit the killer with your superior awareness and agility in a 3rd person's view as he hunts you through a nightmare world.

Behaviour Digital is proud to celebrate the two-year anniversary of Dead by Daylight with a plethora of fresh content.

In the new chapter named Curtain Call, players will be introduced to The Clown and Kate Denson. This new addition will take place in Campbell’s Chapel.

Players will also discover a new in-game store to purchase long-awaited cosmetic items as well as some of the game characters. The team has worked hard to completely overhaul the economy: Iridescent Shards will be gained with playtime through a new player level system while Auric Cells will be available for purchase.

“We can’t believe it’s already been two years. What’s even more incredible is that this was just the beginning. We are committed to making Dead by Daylight bigger and more fun (or terrifying) in the long run. In March, we introduced our new roadmap. We will continue developing new chapters, features and perks for as long as players demand it and will now introduce mid-chapter patches to ensure balancing and proper bug fixing” said Mathieu Côté, Game Director.

The new chapter and store will be available via a public test build (PTB) on Steam today.

Players take on the role of both killer and survivors in a deadly game of cat and mouse. It’s a Mature Gamer take on the thrills of Hide & Seek!
