Earlier in the week, Behaviour Interactive hosted a celebration live stream for Dead by Daylight, as the game has celebrated six years of entertaining/scaring players and it isn’t a small number of players either, with over 50 million players in that time.

Of course, with any new update to a game, fixes are a given and that is the case here, as a host of quality of life changes have been released for the game, like:

• Pre-Set Loadouts

• Main Menu Visual Update

• Matchmaking Incentives

• Archive Changes

• Streamer Mode

• Wiggle Escape System

• Gameflow Improvements

• Custom Match Bots

There is a full breakdown of all the changes and enhancements on the games official site. Beyond changes to what is there, Chapter 24 was confirmed for the game, called Roots of Dread and comes with a new Killer called The Dredge, a new survivor - Haddie Jair and a new location to run around on, The Garden of Joy.

“We’re thrilled to be offering our players an original Chapter for the game’s anniversary this year. Dead by Daylight has grown and diversified itself tremendously since its creation, and with Roots of Dread, we focused on the essence of the game: visceral fear and the thrill of the hunt,” explains Dave Richard, Creative Director for Dead by Daylight. “The Dredge is a strange and creepy monster with a unique design, a first for Dead by Daylight Killers. It lurks and hunts from the shadows with the power to engulf Survivors in darkness, and I believe this makes for a very intense experience for all players.”

The release for the chapter will be on June 8, so still a few weeks away, the full details on the latest chapter can be found here.

Looking further out, Resident Evil was announced to be connecting with the game last year, with characters like Leon S. Kennedy already in the game, but it seems like there is more to come, as a new Resident Evil Chapter was teased at the very end.

The full list of announcements can be found on the games site, including a visual novel… yeah that is perhaps the scariest thing of all.
