Perhaps even more than playing Dead by Daylight , its player base loves speculating about who the next survivors and killers will be to join in on the terrorizing fun that is sacrificing to, or escaping, the Entity. We recently had the opportunity to speak with Mathieu Côté, the game director for the game at Behavior Interactive, and he had some fascinating insight on how these characters are chosen, as well as why Scooby Doo and the Mystery Incorporated gang will likely never appear in the g

Set in the lonely snow covered mountains or the depths of the mines Until Dawn would be a fun DLC for fans of the game. Having either Sam, Mike or possibly even Josh as survivors would make them feel right at home with the rest of the survivors already in the ros

Such a take on the classic characters is by no means wholesome of family friendly, and it is exactly from there that I ask Côté if the team would consider taking the whole gang of Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred, and putting a unique Dead by Daylight spin on them as survivors. The answer was a resounding no, though not for any lack of try

Frequently, near the end of the PS5 Game ratings, there’s no good way for a low-ground player to match an opposing team’s high ground position. This may be because the final circle formation leaves no way to match the opponent’s position without venturing into a high-damage storm, or that any means to reach the opponent is heavily guar

But what would really bring the DLC to life is Clive Barker’s horrifying Pinhead as a Killer. With perks like teleportation, hooked chains, and illusion-based abilities, he’d make for a terrifying foe to chase down survivors in the Labyrinth realm. In fact Hellraiser’s lore would fit rather well with the Entity’s ambiti

The kind of experimentation was clear in the release of the Stranger Things chapter featuring Nancy Wheeler, Steve Harrington, and the Demogorgon. While that series leans less away from horror, Côté explained how positive the release was, "[ Stranger Things ] was by far the biggest release we’ve had in the history of Dead by Daylight , we broke out concurrent user records, and there are more people playing today than there have ever been. And with the Switch release, we just added on top of th

I first asked Côté if he was familiar with Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law , to which he replied, "Yes, I am a huge fan!" For the unfamiliar, the animated show is a real treat to watch, and revolves around many classic Hanna-Barbera characters facing ridiculous legal woes. In an episode titled, "Shaggy Busted", Shaggy and Scooby run into trouble when an officer assumes that they are high on drugs, working the hippie vibe of the characters, and the gang needs to plead their innocence in co

This one's extremely easy to overlook, but it's also one of the coolest and most underrated features of the drone. While piloting the drone, looking at the banners that conventionally display the match's current kill leader will see the display replaced by a readout showing how many squads are in the drone's current flight a

There are few benefits from being exposed on lower ground, so if there’s a chance to push, the best bet is to push to take over the high-ground position rather than trying to take the fight from below. This may mean following the opponent’s zip line, having a team’s Pathfinder throw its own zip line or climbing on ledges as quickly — and stealthy — as possi

Though it may not technically be a beach zone, the teal-colored water and sandy-looking shores give the area an island-like feel. In the trailer, Octane launches off a bounce pad into a geyser, which pushes the character into the air. This is an indication that players will be able to traverse the map by doing the s

This shows no distinguishing features. However, the fact that Caustic is able to walk through and trap players in the space shows that this location may feel similar to the Bunker location on the original

There are numerous caves on the original Kings Canyon map, including one area that's simply called Caves. In the Season 3 trailer, a brief segment shows Crypto walking through a cavernous area. However, the technological equipment in the background suggests this is something beyond a Kings Canyon-style cave. It may have elements similar to the underground lab players found during the Wraith Town Takeov

There are so many characters that seem to fall within a grey zone of being appropriate for Dead by Daylight . This writer would love to see the Aliens franchise represented, with a Xenomorph killer and Ellen Ripley combining a flash light onto a tool box with duct tape, but the idea may simply be too far into the genre of Science Fiction to fit into the game, even if horror elements are pres

As for what lies ahead, Côté was clear in saying that there were ideas in place, but nothing else he could share now. Catching a glimpse into how survivors and killers are chosen was a real treat, though it would have been fantastic to have the Scooby gang brought into the game with the unique Dead by Daylight spin players have come to know and l
