The ever-busy Supermassive Games has been signed up to adapt asymmetrical multiplayer hit Dead by Daylight into a single player story-driven game. The spin-off project, which is still in the early stages of development, remains underwraps for now – but developer Behaviour announced the title as part of an anniversary livestream earlier today. More information will be announced in the coming months.
It’s probably safe to assume this will expand on the studio’s work on titles like The Dark Pictures Anthology and The Quarry, although we’d expect it to include some of the original characters from Dead by Daylight’s lore. During a recent top secret presentation, representatives from Behaviour wouldn’t confirm or deny whether that’s the case, and simply promised it’d share more in the future.
This is all part of a plan to expand the intellectual property beyond the core game. As previously announced, the developer has partnered with Atomic Monster and Blumhouse to create a movie based on the franchise, and it’s currently in the process of recruiting a director and screenwriter before work gets underway.
In addition, a third PvE title is in development, which promises to tackle the themes of “greed and lust”, with subsidiary Midwinter Entertainment leading production. Once again, there are no concrete details just yet, but this will supposedly be a four-player co-op experience which will involve a “strange new corner of the Entity’s Realm”.
