For readers unfamiliar with the franchise, Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer game played in teams. One participant takes on the role of the killer, while the remaining players strive to survive and escape the killer’s pursuit.

The game maintains a steady stream of updates, keeping the player base engaged with fresh content, characters, and challenges.
