Dead by Daylight D&D and Castlevania Updates, 2v8 Mode Coming; Spinoff Game Shadow Drops

Dead by Daylight is turning eight years old, and Montreal-based series creators Behaviour Interactive had certainly a lot to announce during their big anniversary broadcast. Plenty of new detail was provided about the new Dungeons & Dragons update, although we also learned that a Castlevania chapter is on the way later this year. Players can also look forward to the introduction of a mode with two killers instead of the usual one.

Meanwhile, there are plenty of spinoffs on the way. We got a new trailer for the Supermassive-Games-developed narrative adventure The Casting of Frank Stone, and some information on “Project T,” a new PvE shooter spinoff set in the Dead by Daylight universe. Perhaps most exciting and unexpected, Behaviour shadow dropped What the Fog, a new cartoony Dead by Daylight action platformer.

Dead by Daylight: Dungeons & Dragons’ new killer is the lich king Vecna, who brings the following unique abilities to the table:

• Fly grants him flying speed for a short time, letting him pass over obstacles in his path.
• Flight of the Damned conjures flying spectral entities that can pass through obstacles and cause harm to all they hit.
• Mage Hand creates a ghastly, phantasmic hand that can complete tasks such as holding and blocking the use of Pallets.
• Dispelling Sphere creates a moving AOE sphere that reveals Survivors and disables their Magical Items.

Meanwhile, the new survivors are a pair of bards, Aestri Yazar and Baermar Uraz (you’ll have the same perks and abilities regardless of who you pick).

• Mirrored Illusion spawns a static copy of the Survivor in front of a Totem, Chest, Generator or Exit Gate for a limited time
• Bardic Inspiration inspires others through a stirring performance. Roll a d20 and fellow Survivors get a Skill
