………………………….
Hot on the heels of a jam-packed Eighth Anniversary Broadcast, Dead by Daylight continues to pick up speed. On deck this month is the release of even more game-changing content and news that tees up a singular summer for the hit horror multiplayer. Beginning today, fans can step into the boots of gaming’s ultimate survivor as Lara Croft enters The Fog, followed closely by the massive additions of Cross-Progression and the new 2v8 Game Mode less than a week later. The Casting of Frank Stone also breaks news with the reveal of its upcoming release date and the opening of pre-orders for both its Deluxe and Standard Editions.
Dead by Daylight x Tomb Raider
Prepare to venture into the unknown as the Tomb Raider herself, Lara Croft, takes on The Entity’s Realm. Courageous, resourceful, and no stranger to the supernatural, few characters enter Dead by Daylight with the Tomb Raider’s iconic status or survival pedigree.
While she may find herself without her trademark pistols or bow, Dead by Daylight’s gameplay boils Lara down to her essence, creating abilities around the intangibles that define her. Lara introduces 3 new Perks, Finesse, Hardened, and Specialist to Dead by Daylight, each of which underscores her skills as an athlete (new animation!), adventurer, and archeologist respectively.
Players can welcome Lara Croft to their roster of Survivors with the Dead by Daylight: Tomb Raider Chapter, available now.
2v8 Mayhem Arrives
If you think you know Dead by Daylight, think again. The highly requested 2v8 Game Mode arrives on July 25, injecting the familiar player experience with a big dose of chaos, fast-paced action, and added fun.
With more than a few surprises still up their sleeves 8 years in, the Dead by Daylight team has shaken up the standard Trial in a major way. For the first time ever, 2 Killers can team up to hunt 8 Survivors, delivering a fresh and frantic take on gameplay for seasoned players.
2v8 Trials will take place across 5 classic Maps, each of which has been expanded to house the action. Generators have also been doubled, with Survivors now needing to repair 8 of 13 to escape. Hooks and Perks have been jettisoned in a bid to keep the action flowing. Downed Survivors are now sent directly to Cages, while Survivor Perks are replaced with a new class system designed to encourage teamwork as players can adopt clearer “roles” within a Trial. Instead of Classes, Killers will receive alterations to their Powers, as well as a crucial team-based ability to amplify the havoc they can wreak as a duo.
Dead by Daylight has its party mode, and it’s available for a limited time from July 25 to August 8.
Cross-Progression, Coming Soon
Available on July 22, Cross-Progression is coming to Dead by Daylight allowing players to sync their progress and purchases across platforms.
A huge quality of life of improvement for those who enjoy Dead by Daylight on multiple platforms, Cross-Progression has been a long-requested feature which the team is excited to deliver on. All players need is a Behaviour Account, and to own the base game on whichever platforms they wish to play. To help streamline the process an easy-to-follow “How-To” video will walk players through the simple steps of getting set up. Dead by Daylight’s website and social channels have also shared a chart outlining all platform specifics, as well as an in-depth FAQ for players looking for further details.
The Casting of Frank Stone Release Date
The world of Dead by Daylight continues to expand with The Casting of Frank Stone, set to officially release on Sept. 3, 2024.
Supermassive Games and Behaviour Interactive’s collaboration spins a disturbing single-player cinematic yarn from Dead by Daylight’s lore, offering a completely new window into the game’s universe.
Standard and Deluxe Editions of the game are now available for pre-order. Players can also check out the latest trailer centered around “Murder Mill”, the homemade horror film at the heart of the game’s narrative. Shrouded in mystery and urban myth, each time the film was screened, the audience would be overtaken by rabid, murderous impulses… or so the story goes. Watch it right here – if you dare.
