Dead by Daylight Dev Tracker

It’s about that time for another Developer Update, the series of posts where we discuss upcoming changes making their way to Dead by Daylight. This time, we’ll go through some notable changes happening in the next update alongside a brand-new Chapter and beyond!


Red Forest Visual Update Over the past few years, various realms have gradually received facelifts. This process- which we named The Realm Beyond- has us revisit older maps and bring their visuals up to modern standards. We’ve already updated the majority of maps, and today, we turn our focus to the classic Red Forest.

Home to both The Huntress and The Plague, the Red Forest debuted nearly six years ago. This visual update maintains the iconic rainy climate of the original maps as well as the small details and nods to their respective Killers’ lore.

Bug Fixes Adept Achievements / Merciless Killer
We've applied a tentative fix that should resolve an issue surrounding Merciless Killer, wherein Killing 4 Survivors would not trigger it as intended. Your Tally Screen Results should now be displayed accurately.

However, we are still working on a consistent fix to an issue surrounding the Adept Achievements for Killer and Survivor, which are still not unlocking correctly in select situations.

General

• There is no longer a missing prompt while purchasing Outfits.

Killer

• Killer players in a lobby will no longer see character swap arrows after opening the Bloodweb.

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been 8 months since our last Anniversary Broadcast, yet January somehow managed to sneak up on us. During that broadcast, we shared a roadmap detailing some of the features we would introduce over the following year, many of which have already become a reality. Our next anniversary is still several months away, so today, we’re happy to announce even more exciting additions to our Year 7 Roadmap!

But first, a look back at the roadmap itself.



Kicking things off in July, we released one of the largest updates to date. This update rebalanced around 40 perks and completely overhauled the game’s progression system. Further progression and balance changes would be made throughout the year. Matchmaking Incentives were also introduced to help alleviate long queue times and provide a new aven... Read more

Explore a forgotten age in Dead by Daylight’s Tome 14: BETRAYAL.

Uncover lost memories for The Knight, Vittorio Toscano, and the House of Arkham. Progress through the Rift to unlock medieval-inspired Cosmetics and Charms. Test your abilities by completing brand new gameplay Challenges. It’s all waiting in The Archives.



NEW MEMORIES
The Knight – Nothing But Darkness

While so-called knights prattled on about chivalric values, Tarhos knew the truth. Those armoured hypocrites wield their code the same way he wields his blade – to enact power over the weak. They would soon learn the uncompromising nature of true strength.

Vittorio Toscano – Journey Of The Lost

His perception of time has long faded. He’s not entirely sure his rational mind hasn... Read more

Happy New Year! The team is back from holidays, and we’ve brought a new Developer Update with us. In this series of posts, we cover all the biggest upcoming changes coming to Dead by Daylight. We have many quality of life improvements up our sleeves, so without further ado, let’s kick 2023 off with a bang.



Survivor Activity HUD
It’s no secret that playing with friends may improve your odds of survival. Communication can at times make the difference between life and death. Solo Survivors need to work extra hard to keep up, often sacrificing perk slots for crucial information that could be easily shared between players in a call.

Last year, we shared an early design for a system that would help bridge the gap between solo Survivors and premade groups. The response to this idea was positive, so we’ve been ironing out the ... Read more
