Dead by Daylight Dev Tracker

It’s time for another Developer Update! In this post, we’ll cover all the balance changes & improvements making their way to the game the next major update.



Killer Tweaks
For this update, we’ve given a few of the Killers in our roster both quality of life and balance improvements. We’ve identified a handful of Killers that could use some small base kit improvements to help reduce their dependency on certain Add-Ons. There’s a lot to go through, so we’ll do our best to keep them brief!

For the first time, we’re excited to announce the arrival of Lights Out, a limited-time Modifier that brings a terrifying new layer of fear to Dead by Daylight.


Dead by Daylight is a horror game that revels in tension and fright, where an adrenaline-pumping chase can break out at any moment. For those who have been with us for some time, you may have grown accustomed to certain gameplay staples. Perhaps you’ve memorized a Map or figured out how to effectively counter specific characters and playstyles.

In other words, we recognize that the longer you spend in the darkness, the more your eyes adjust to the terrors lurking within.

Enter Lights Out, a limited-time Modifier that introduces a new experience for players of all levels.

WHEN: February 7th, 11 AM ET – February 14th, 11 AM ET
