The latest developments surrounding Dead by Daylight have sparked intense discussion within its community, following both the reveal of a new chapter on the Public Test Build (PTB) and the creative director discussed it in an interview with PCGamesN.
For the game’s 39th Chapter, Behaviour Interactive is taking a notably different approach compared to its predecessors. Rather than introducing a completely original concept, the studio has chosen to revisit and expand one of its past chapters: All-Kill, originally released in 2021.
A Comeback Rooted in Fan Demand
The new chapter, titled All-Kill Comeback, builds upon the original by introducing a mix of reworked and entirely new content. Among the highlights are a brand-new urban map, a new survivor named Kwon Tae-young—voiced by Kevin Woo—and significant gameplay changes to the Trickster, the chapter’s iconic killer.
According to Richard, this return to the All-Kill setting was largely driven by fan interest. Players had long requested a dedicated map for the chapter, something that was not feasible at the time of its original release. Now, with more resources and a clearer vision, the development team has taken the opportunity to revisit the setting and expand it into what they initially envisioned.
At the same time, the rework of the Trickster aims to improve both his playability and how he feels to face in matches, addressing longstanding feedback from the community.
A “Remake” That Changes Expectations
What makes this chapter particularly noteworthy is that it represents the first time Behaviour has effectively “remade” one of its original chapters. Rather than leaving older content behind, the studio is now exploring ways to modernize and enhance it.
This decision has naturally led to speculation among fans. If All-Kill can receive such a comprehensive overhaul, could other older chapters—especially those lacking maps or fully realized content—receive similar treatment?
Richard addressed this directly in the interview, confirming that there are indeed other past chapters the team would like to revisit. However, he stopped short of making any promises, emphasizing the limitations of development resources.
A Future of Reimagined Chapters?
While All-Kill Comeback may currently seem like a unique experiment, Richard hinted that it could represent more than just a one-off project. He expressed personal enthusiasm for revisiting additional original chapters, noting that many stories within the game’s universe still feel incomplete.
This subtle but meaningful statement has fueled optimism within the community. If Behaviour continues down this path, Dead by Daylight could evolve into a hybrid model—balancing entirely new chapters with reimagined versions of older ones.
Community Reactions and Lingering Questions
Despite the excitement, not all feedback has been entirely positive. Some players have expressed disappointment that Lee Yun-jin, the original survivor from All-Kill, still lacks voice lines even in this updated version. Richard acknowledged this concern but again avoided firm commitments, citing practical constraints.
Nevertheless, the broader reception remains largely intrigued. The idea of revisiting older content—especially when done with meaningful additions—offers a fresh way to keep the game evolving without abandoning its past.
Conclusion
With All-Kill Comeback, Dead by Daylight is experimenting with a new creative direction that blends nostalgia with innovation. Whether this marks the beginning of a long-term strategy or remains an isolated case is still uncertain.
What is clear, however, is that Behaviour Interactive is paying close attention to its community—and may be more willing than ever to bring old nightmares back to life.
