The biggest announcement of the day is that Behaviour is planning to deliver six newDead by DaylightChapters over the coming year, two of which will be Survivor-only. The nextDead by DaylightChapter is named End Transmission and will feature original content. That will be followed by a specialSurvivor-only Chapter featuring the Nicolas Cagecharacter The Fog. Two licensed Killers will be released in subsequent Chapters, then another Survivor-only Chapter, and then lastly another original Chapter beforeDead by Daylight’s 8th Anniversary in 2024.
Keying in on End Transmission, Behavior describes it as the introduction of sci-fi horror toDead by Daylight. The Toba Landing map is set on an entirely different planet, haunted by a new Killer named The Singularity – made up of restructured organic matter and machine parts. The Survivor counterpart to The Singularity is Gabriel Soma, said to be a technician that’s already survived the killing of his crew. End Transmission is scheduled to launch on June 13.
Past the arrival of End Transmission, Behavior plans to deliver the Survivor-onlyDead by DaylightChapter with Nicolas Cage on July 5. Other exciting partnerships that are in development include the Iron Maiden Collection, Slipknot Collection, and Artists from The Fog Collection, which features outfits from community creators andJapanese video game industry artist Ikumi Nakamura. In 2024, even more Collections are planned with a special Naughty Bear outfit for The Trapper planned.
There’s much more to come than that over the next year, though. Behaviour has also announced a new single-playerDead by Daylightspin-off game made by Supermassive Games, as well as a new 4-player PvE spin-off game made by recently-acquired Midwinter Entertainment.
