New Dead by Daylight games are on the way, including one by Supermassive
Dead in daylight just celebrated its seven-year anniversary, and Behavior Interactive showed off the game’s next chapter on an anniversary stream. There’s more to come, though, and not everything is in Dead in daylight yourself.
There are two new games in production in the Dead in daylight universe. One is from Supermassive Games, best known for Until dawnThe Dark Pictures Anthology, ed The quarry. The other is from Midwinter Entertainment, who are working on a multiplayer co-op game that will “tackle themes of greed and lust for power”.
Dead in daylight is an asymmetrical horror game in which four survivors try to repair an ancient gate and escape a hunting ground before they are found, caught and impaled on a rusty hook by the killer. The matches take place in the extradimensional realm ruled by an evil spider god known as the Entity, who feeds on despair and misery. Survivors must not only avoid their immediate horrific fate, but also keep hope alive, lest they wither and their souls be devoured.
Supermassive’s games tend to be story-heavy, with regular choices and fast-paced events to keep things interesting. Those choices can end in a gruesome fate or a lucky escape, and it’s not always clear what the right thing to do is. More information on this game will be released before the end of the year, so we’ll likely find out more about which characters will be involved in the game and what challenges they’ll face.
Midwinter Entertainment is behind Scavengers, a short-lived co-op game in which small teams of humans launched from the Moon search the frozen Earth for valuable supplies. Behavior Interactive bought Midwinter in 2022. These games next Dead in daylight‘s dating simulator, will present an alternative take on the mysterious lore of the horror game. Behavior is also creating a comic collaboration with Titan Comics due out in June and a feature film adaptation of Dead in daylight with Blumhouse. The Dead in daylight setting grows into a whole universe of torment.
