Behaviour Interactive's asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight has become famous because of its crossovers with major icons of the genre, from Halloween's Michael Myers to Silent Hill's Pyramid Head. However, the experience is built on its own original lore and characters inspired by horror tropes, such as a samurai demon called The Oni who will be added to Dead by Daylight Mobile next week.
The mobile port for Dead by Daylight was released earlier this year and immediately became a hit, but in terms of available content it still needs a lot to catch up with the base game that launched in 2016. Behaviour has been making up that gap with updates adding content like new game modes to Dead by Daylight Mobile. Its "Cursed Legacy" chapter will add The Oni, Survivor Yui Kimura, and two maps making up the Crotus Prenn Asylum.
Also coming in this update next week is a "Summer Camp" cosmetic collection, adding new outfits for Survivors Dwight Fairfield and Meg Thomas, as well as Killers The Nurse and The Trapper. Though the press release sent out by Behaviour Interactive does not specify exactly when Cursed Legacy will release, it does suggest there will be a lot of people playing it since Dead by Daylight Mobile has been downloaded on eight million devices worldwide.
While the mobile port receives updates to catch up with its PC and console equivalent, Dead by Daylight proper is also ramping up to add new content of its own. Dead by Daylight Chapter 17 is coming soon, and fans have theorized it will involve a new Killer called The Alchemist who has been referenced through in-game lore.
The asymmetrical horror title has also been launching quality of life updates and new mechanics meant to update it following the game's fourth anniversary. Recently, Dead by Daylight added cross-play support for PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One, with plans to also implement cross-progression sometime in the future. However, Dead by Daylight Mobile is not included in this deal.
Behaviour Interactive is also planning to release Dead by Daylight on Google Stadia with exclusive features such as Crowd Play and Crowd Choice for streamers. With all of this content being juggled at once, it's good to see the mobile port continuing to receive support in the form of new characters like The Oni.
Dead by Daylight Mobile is available for Android and iOS, with other ports available for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
