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.

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!

During Capcom's Resident Evil Showcase livestream, Behaviour Interactive revealed it is teaming up with Capcom to introduce the world of Resident Evil into the dark twisted horror universe of its hit asymmetrical 4v1 game: Dead by Daylight.

The Resident Evil Chapter is coming in June to Dead by Daylight. More details will follow. 

“We are excited to be working with the legendary studio Capcom to create the next Dead by Daylight chapter”, says Dave Richard, Creative Director for Dead by Daylight.  “It is an honor and an absolute joy to welcome the original survival horror game Resident Evil in The Entity's universe. The result is fantastic and will surprise new players and veterans alike. Players can expect a chapter packed with iconic content and novel ways to sacrifice or survive inspired by the renowned franchise.” 

“This is such an awesome new addition to our universe! If you had told us, five years ago when we launched, that one day we would be adding characters from the legendary Resident Evil world into our game, none of us would have believed you”, explains Mathieu Côté, Game Director for Dead by Daylight. “We are so very grateful to Capcom for everything they've done over the years to bring horror to the world of video games. And today, we get to bring these icons into Dead by Daylight. It is an incredibly proud moment for us.”
