Console players will also soon be able to hang themselves on meat hooks – Dead by Daylight is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
In Dead by Daylight, 4 players try to repair generators as survivors to escape the map, while one player acts as a killer, hunting the other players to kill them and sacrifice them to the strange “Entity”. Asymmetric games have become popular in recent years.
Dead by Daylight is considered one of the hidden gems of 2016 – the development team has grown from 10 to nearly 50 people in just under 2 years.
The game’s success on Steam has now led to the announcement of the latest plans in a livstream. According to them, Dead by Daylight will not only be playable on PC anymore but will also be released this year for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One!
Dead by Daylight – Release Date for PS4, Xbox One in 2017
However, there is still no specific date, and the statements from producer Mathieu Cote were also not conclusive. In the stream, they mentioned “Q2 2017”, which would mean between April and June. However, he could also have meant “Que to 2017”, which would simply mean “sometime” in 2017.
An official statement regarding this obvious misunderstanding is still pending. You can find the corresponding part in the previous developer livestream here:
Dead by Daylight – Patch 1.4 arrives this week
The stream also covers other topics that are relevant to the PC version. There will be a major patch this week that raises Dead by Daylight to version 1.4, updates the engine to the latest version, and fixes numerous bugs. There has been a lot of criticism regarding matchmaking and performance issues, which they want to silence with the upcoming update.
