Even after five years,Dead by Daylightstands as the top watched asymmetric game on Twitch. This makes therecent jump to PS5 and Xbox Series Xa natural shift for Behaviour Interactive, but recent accounts from the developer may suggest that there’s more. there is a brand new title currently in the works.
In a recent interview, Behavior Interactive spoke with Game Rant about bothDead by Daylight’smove to next-gen consoles, as well as the future of the title. While the likelihood of a sequel to the developer’s asymmetric horror title isn’t exactly what players should be looking out for just yet, there might be more going on behind the scenes at Behavior for a different project.

When answering a question about what the developer might have planned next, either forDead by Daylightor future projects, Mathieu Cote, Behaviour’s Head of Partnerships, commented briefly on a future game. Cote couldn’t elaborate too much on the state of the game or the new experience that the developer is looking to bring to players, but he did confirm that Behavior does have plans for a new game. From the way the developer described this new game, it may not be like theflagship titleDead by Daylightbut remains equally ambitious:
As for a futureDead by Daylight 2, Cote mentioned that while the question does come up frequently, both among the development team as well as the player community, it is usually dismissed. Instead, Behavior would prefer to continue to work on addingnew content toDead by Daylightand continually updating the existing title to keep providing a quality experience to the game’s millions of players. To this degree, the developer will be bringing improvements to the game alongside the next-gen leap, including new graphical and VFX improvements, making a sequel unnecessary and a new, unrelated title more likely.
With partnership work on titles like the recentTony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2remake,Days Gone, andGears 5, Behaviour has a history with some fairly high quality games. So, it’s likely that whatever the developer’s new title might be, it’s may just have the samelevel of detail asDead by Daylight. However, if Behaviour’s response is anything to go by, players shouldn’t be looking for the same gameplay experience, and should instead brace to see how/if the developer can shake up the games industry again.
Dead by Daylightis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
