The annual livestream to celebrate the anniversary of Behaviour Interactive's hit horror game we all know, Dead by Daylight, has recently concluded.

Each year this livestream provides a glimpse into the future of the game, and thus into the new content that will be coming in the next 12 months, that is, until the next anniversary.

New characters, gameplay changes, spin-off games set in the Dead by Daylight universe, new modes, and new collaborations.

Let's go in order then, let's see what they announced today.

After the many rumors of the past months, the collaboration between Dead by Daylight and Dungeons&Dragons was officially announced, which after Alan Wake is thus the second collaboration in a row coming within Behaviour Interactive's game:

The roadmap of content coming during Year 9, which will end precisely in May 2025, has been published:

In the past few months, Behaviour Interactive has anticipated some changes to gameplay by introducing modifiers, small temporary changes to the game such as Lights Out introduced with the arrival of Alan Wake that for one week aimed to make gameplay more 'hardcore' by lowering the brightness of the game and making it impossible to use perks, items and add-ons.

Most people were not all that enraptured by these small changes, as the core gameplay still remained the same, make generators and run.

So a real new mode was announced to be coming in Dead by Daylight, 2vs8 with cages, classes system and the five original killers:

Updates were also given on new spin-off games coming within the world of Dead by Daylight, one of which was announced at The Game Awards in 2023, namely The Casting Of Frank Stone, which by the way received a new trailer:

In the summer of 1980, four friends set out to make their mark on horror cinema. What they capture will trigger the unthinkable. Decide their fate, develop their relationships, and guide their shoot of Murder Mill.
