Anticipated Developments in Dead by Daylight for 2024
Despite entering its 7th year, Dead by Daylight feels more vibrant than ever, building on the momentum of an electrifying 2023. While last year had its share of issues like bugs, imbalanced perks, and controversies, it still delivered with new Survivors and Killers, including major crossovers like Alien and Child’s Play, and the highly anticipated return of Stranger Things DLC.
Now, as 2023 fades into memory, Dead by Daylight fans eagerly look forward to what lies ahead in the new year. The future appears promising for this enduring horror franchise as it approaches its 8th anniversary. Alongside regular updates, a new spin-off is on the horizon, already generating considerable excitement. With Alan Wake set to debut as a survivor on January 30th, 2024 begins with a bang, setting high expectations for a thrilling year of new content.
2024 Holds Promise to Be One of Dead by Daylight’s Best Years Yet
In late November 2023, Behaviour Interactive unveiled a roadmap detailing the first half of Dead by Daylight’s updates for 2024. From January through March, players can anticipate several quality-of-life enhancements, notably including the introduction of an FOV slider and a resolution to the contentious 3-Gen Killer strategy that has long affected gameplay. The Onryo, Hillbilly, and Blight will also undergo adjustments, alongside enhancements to Perks such as Quick Gambit, Grim Embrace, and Save The Best For Last.
Moving into March and April 2024, significant changes are expected for the Mangled status effect and tweaks to the Sloppy Butcher Perk. Additionally, six Killers—The Demogorgon, The Hag, The Pig, The Clown, The Doctor, and The Huntress—will receive updates aimed at refining their gameplay dynamics.
Finally, between April and June, enhancements to the Bloodweb’s functionality are planned, alongside adjustments for The Twins and updates to Perks like Ultimate Weapon and Decisive Strike. As with any development roadmap, these timelines are subject to change, and players can likely anticipate further updates in the latter half of 2024.
Dead by Daylight is Sure to Add Even More Killers and Survivors in 2024
While Behaviour Interactive has outlined its update roadmap for the first half of 2024, Dead by Daylight fans can expect the tradition of receiving new Killers and Survivors to continue throughout the year. Typically, the game sees around four DLC packs annually. These can vary in scope, from smaller updates featuring either a Killer or Survivor to larger expansions that include both, along with a variety of cosmetics.
In recent years, there has also been a trend where two out of these four DLCs feature crossover characters from other franchises. However, it’s important to note that this pattern may not necessarily hold true for 2024, as each year brings its own surprises and developments to the Entity’s realm. As the year unfolds, players can look forward to more thrilling additions that expand the world and gameplay of Dead by Daylight.
Dead by Daylight’s Spinoff Will Release in 2024
The most anticipated Dead by Daylight event of 2024 is undoubtedly the release of the upcoming spin-off, The Casting of Frank Stone. Developed by Supermassive Games, renowned for titles like Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology, this narrative-focused spin-off ventures into the Dead by Daylight universe. Designed to appeal to both newcomers and long-time fans, The Casting of Frank Stone promises an immersive experience rich in story and suspense.
While an exact release date has yet to be announced, the spin-off is slated for a general 2024 launch. Anticipation is high as players eagerly await to explore new dimensions of horror and narrative within the Dead by Daylight universe.
Stay tuned as we continue to cover these updates and delve deeper into the horrors that await in Dead by Daylight’s evolving world. Whether you’re a survivor evading the Entity’s grasp or a killer seeking dominance, 2024 is shaping up to be a thrilling year in the realm of survival horror.
