| 1s | hi everyone my name is Gan Escalante and |
|---|---|
| 4s | and I am a senior game designer uh |
| 5s | overseeing events hi I'm Sarah Robinson |
| 8s | I'm one of the associate art directors |
| 9s | on dead by daylight also working on |
| 12s | events so thanks to that perfect |
| 14s | introduction to the void from Dave we |
| 16s | have an idea of what the void is and all |
| 20s | of the sort of ideas that we're playing |
| 21s | with but let's get into some of the |
| 23s | brass tacks here so we're talking |
| 25s | gameplay we're talking thematic visuals |
| 28s | for the void itself and most importantly |
| 30s | we're talking about rewards so what can |
| 33s | players expect well this is an evolution |
| 36s | of what we did last year for haunted by |
| 37s | daylight uh so what you can expect as |
| 40s | players is that we'll be Mi mixing some |
| 42s | of last year's mechanics with a new |
| 44s | experience the void so one of the first |
| 47s | things that you'll notice when you enter |
| 48s | your first trial are these kind of |
| 49s | dormant like uh ethereal beings that are |
| 53s | just around the map what are they well |
| 55s | they are closely connected to a resource |
| 57s | that you'll be collecting void energy |
| 59s | which may be familiar to a lot of you so |
| 62s | you're going to be collecting dispid |
| 63s | energy and just to keep it simple |
| 65s | survivors collect it from repairing |
| 66s | generators and Killers get it from |
| 68s | hooking survivors which is you know |
| 70s | pretty uh standard for dead by daylight |
| 74s | there's also a new source called void |
| 76s | orbs and they're kind of these floating |
| 78s | pockets of void energy just floating |
| 80s | yeah floating around the map as you |
| 82s | approach them they'll fly towards you |
| 84s | and just award you with some more void |
| 85s | energy okay so these are kind of like |
| 87s | the interactable smashable pumpkins from |
| 89s | last year yeah exactly and uh I guess |
| 92s | these pumpkins have a bit of a glow up |
| 94s | now uh scar up scar up exactly um and |
| 98s | yeah they will Pro they will provide you |
| 100s | with more void energy as well so there's |
| 102s | a lot of void energy going around here |
| 105s | so use that void energy to transfer it |
| 108s | into unstable Rifts they'll appear all |
| 110s | around the map and once unstable Rifts |
| 112s | have collectively gathered enough void |
| 114s | energy from all players killer and |
| 116s | survivors they will stabilize opening |
| 119s | portals into the void and so inside the |
| 122s | void we'll be waiting haunts and these |
| 124s | haunts are the counterparts to the |
| 126s | dormant beings that you've already seen |
| 127s | around the map and all you'll want to do |
| 130s | is release them because they don't want |
| 131s | to be in the void themselves and uh you |
| 135s | do that by giving them void energy and |
| 139s | uh you want to make sure that you're |
| 140s | doing this before the void destabilizes |
| 141s | and closes because once it does everyone |
| 143s | is ejected whoever was in there and when |
| 146s | you do release a haunt uh and complete |
| 148s | that interaction you will earn a set of |
| 150s | Buffs for a limited time that's cool |
| 153s | yeah so we've got lots of mechanics |
| 155s | going on in the void let's take a brief |
| 157s | moment to talk about the void itself so |
| 160s | these are going to be a brief discussion |
| 161s | on the visuals and where we came up with |
| 164s | these crazy ideas so pulling off of the |
| 167s | idea that this is a place of Decay a |
| 170s | place of Forgotten Memories the place |
| 172s | that the entity puts things when it's |
| 174s | done sucking all the joy hope will to |
| 179s | desire to kill you're a killer uh and |
| 182s | and dumps them in this place uh it was |
| 185s | an opportunity for us to revisit some of |
| 186s | our favorite themes and maybe combine |
| 189s | them into something a little bit |
| 190s | different a little bit twisted yeah and |
| 192s | it looks really really cool yeah the air |
| 194s | team did a fantastic job on this one so |
| 197s | players can expect to see some of uh |
| 199s | familiar map details from example I |
| 202s | think we've got yoka ston there uh red |
| 205s | Forest eie of crows McMillan estate a |
| 208s | bunch of other ones as well like I'm |
| 210s | pretty sure there's some tires from |
| 212s | junkyard jammed into some |
| 215s | statues uh and it's all kind of tied |
| 218s | together with void energy um knitting it |
| 221s | together into this interesting web |
| 223s | work so if it's not clear the void is |
| 227s | not a happy place to be players who |
| 230s | enter both killers and survivors become |
| 233s | kind of corrupted this effect starts to |
| 235s | tear at their bodies as if the void |
| 237s | energy is kind of ripping it apart it's |
| 240s | not great but it's also not just an |
| 242s | eerie location game play continues in |
| 245s | the void with a few twists yeah exactly |
| 248s | and you know as youve mentioned it is |
| 250s | not a safe place right so uh the void |
| 254s | what once what you can expect as |
| 256s | survivors when you enter this space is |
| 257s | that you will immediately be afflicted |
| 259s | with the exhausted status effect and if |
| 262s | you were injured at any point whether |
| 263s | you entered injured or become injured |
| 265s | while in the void you will become broken |
| 267s | immediately um killers on the other hand |
| 270s | they will have no access to their powers |
| 272s | because of the state of the Void no and |
| 274s | uh yeah they'll also become undetectable |
| 276s | which should be pretty should provide |
| 279s | some cool opportunities to get some jump |
| 281s | scares on them um one thing as well the |
| 284s | void hooks in here if a Survivor were to |
| 287s | get hooked on a void hook they'll be |
| 289s | ejected immediately to a hook outside of |
| 292s | the Void that's it teleported right into |
| 294s | the origin map yeah exactly um and uh |
| 298s | yeah you'll want to make sure that you |
| 299s | do this before the void closes because |
| 301s | it is only open for a limited amount of |
| 303s | time or until all H have been released |
| 307s | void can also be open multiple times |
| 308s | throughout a trial and uh so that'll |
| 312s | only depend on how many how much more |
| 313s | void energy you transfer into those |
| 315s | unstable Rifts each Rift will have a |
| 318s | counterpart inside the void so you kind |
| 320s | of use this as a cool strategy to |
| 322s | teleport across the map by just going in |
| 325s | finding a portal and find finding a |
| 326s | different one to go back out so like |
| 328s | shortcuts yeah exactly exactly like |
| 331s | shortcut shortcuts um one thing to also |
| 334s | mention here is that when a v haunt has |
| 336s | been released outside of the Void you'll |
| 339s | be able to see them as long as you were |
| 341s | the Allied role that released them with |
| 343s | their auras and you can approach them to |
| 346s | get a temporary speed boost or if you're |
| 348s | able to you can lure an opponent into |
| 350s | them and they'll get a hindering jump |
| 352s | scare nice yeah so in case it sounds |
| 355s | like a lot don't worry about it there is |
| 357s | a gameplay detail screen that will be in |
| 359s | the event menu so you can catch up on |
| 361s | all that uh fun stuff so now that I've |
| 364s | gone over all the tricks it's time for |
| 366s | some treats exactly cuz it wouldn't be |
| 368s | Halloween without some good treats to |
| 369s | reward yourself with just like with the |
| 371s | anniversary event we're continuing to |
| 374s | display all of the collected rewards uh |
| 377s | that you earn during this event in both |
| 379s | the collections and store tabs uh we |
| 382s | have two brand new outfits coming for |
| 384s | for this one that we want to highlight |
| 386s | that's the Jack a' Lantern for the night |
| 388s | and Candy nights for mag these are part |
| 391s | of the Tricks and Treats collection so |
| 393s | we have six Halloween themed charms |
| 395s | coming we've got six skeleton shirts for |
| 398s | survivors and we've got six new Candy |
| 401s | weapons for Killers cuz who doesn't want |
| 402s | to get murdered by a chocolate bar I |
| 404s | prefer to eat the chocolate bar not so |
| 406s | much murdered but yeah in order to get |
| 409s | these rewards you'll need to go through |
| 411s | the event toome the haunted by daylight |
| 413s | event toome it will have a lot of new |
| 415s | challenges for you to complete and |
| 417s | challenges will also reward you with a |
| 419s | new a reward called Dark trinkets which |
| 421s | is an event currency now uh just as a |
| 425s | note they are an additional reward that |
| 427s | you'll get for your challenges so |
| 428s | they're not replacing the blooda the |
| 430s | blood point Sorry or the Riff fragments |
| 432s | that you typically typically get from a |
| 434s | toome challenge the this is a third |
| 436s | reward that you'll get as well as for |
| 438s | completing a level of the tone uh there |
| 442s | there will also be outfit pieces and |
| 443s | charms to get within the T but these |
| 446s | dark trinkets you'll use them to spend |
| 448s | on Cosmetics within the collection |
| 449s | screen of the event menu and the more |
| 452s | the more Cosmetics that you unlock |
| 454s | you'll also unlock some Milestone |
| 456s | rewards so the more that you unlock |
| 458s | throughout the event you'll be able to |
| 460s | get these rewards and this will be the |
| 462s | only way that you can complete the |
| 463s | outfits for mag and the night and as |
| 467s | another note any currency left over at |
| 469s | the end of the event will convert into |
| 471s | blood points that's fantastic so I think |
| 474s | that covers it for all of our little |
| 476s | details that we wanted to share yeah I |
| 478s | think that thank you so much for |
| 479s | listening to us and we'll see you in the |
| 504s | void |
