Dead by Daylight, the popular asymmetric multiplayer game known for its killer-vs-survivor gameplay, is exploring the possibility of introducing new and exciting game modes.
This development comes as the game approaches its seven-year mark, continually refreshing its experience with the addition of new killers and survivors, including iconic figures like Leatherface from “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and Michael Myers from “Halloween.”
Behaviour Interactive, the developers behind Dead by Daylight, recently released a player survey, hinting at potential new game modes that could dramatically alter the game’s dynamics. This move indicates the developer’s commitment to keeping the game engaging and fresh, acknowledging that even a successful formula can benefit from innovation.
Proposed Game Modes
The survey, which initially gathers player feedback on the recent Dead by Daylight DLC featuring the killer doll Chucky, then delves into several proposed game modes. These include:
- Swapped Perspective: Where killers play in third person and survivors in first person, offering a new perspective on the gameplay.
- Zombie Tag: In this mode, ‘killed’ survivors turn into killers until only one survivor remains.
- 2v8 Party: Featuring two killers against eight survivors, increasing the intensity and chaos of the traditional format.
- Tag: This mode involves players swapping roles with the killer when caught, adding a twist to the usual gameplay.
- Hide and Seek: A mode without generators, where survivors must simply stay alive for five minutes to escape.
- 5v5: Two teams of four survivors (with one killer on the loose) compete for control of the generators.
The concept of Zombie Tag, in particular, stands out for its blend of terror and humor, imagining a scenario where players are chased by multiple killers.
The Future of Dead by Daylight
The introduction of these modes would significantly expand Dead by Daylight’s gameplay, offering players new challenges and ways to experience the game. However, the decision to implement these modes depends on Behaviour Interactive’s assessment of player feedback from the survey.
In conclusion, Dead by Daylight continues to evolve, and these potential new modes represent an exciting direction for the game. Players looking to voice their opinions on these changes are encouraged to participate in the Dead by Daylight player survey.
