Dead by Daylight is a unique multiplayer survival horror game developed by Behaviour Interactive that released on PC back in 2016, made its way to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 the following year, and is due to arrive on the Nintendo Switch this fall. Since its initial PC release it has amassed a huge following thanks to its tense and strategic gameplay, where four players take on the role of survivors who must complete a certain amount of tasks to escape the level and a fifth player takes on the role of a murderous psychopath who is trying to capture those survivors before they can escape. Well if you follow along with the Dead by Daylight scene pretty closely, you may know that a couple of weeks ago a mobile version of the game was accidentally leaked and videos of the in-progress build were posted online. Perhaps because of this or just because it was planned anyway, last Friday during a live stream celebrating the 3rd anniversary of Dead by Daylight and laying out their plans for the coming 4th year, Behaviour officially announced that a mobile version of the game was in the works. You can hear that initial announcement at about the 54:35 mark in the livestream video, and they also talk about it in this year 4 dev diary video at about the 3-minute mark, where they describe the mobile Dead by Daylight as “a very different way to interact with the game, but at its core it’s the same experience."
