Behaviour Interactive has announced the cancellation of Dead by Daylight spinoff Project T, with its developer Midwinter Entertainment allegedly also being shut down as a result.
News of Project T's cancellation came through Behaviour yesterday, with a social media post explaining that following a "thorough internal risk assessment" and a "deep analysis" following a playtest, the outcome was "unsatisfactory overall results."
